The TB-II notation appears in cave inscriptions from about the 1st century B.C. Both TB-I and TB-II notations occur in contemporary inscriptions at the same site or even within the same inscriptions (e.g., Nos. **38-45** from Alagarmalai). The TB-II notation becomes the dominant style in the cave records (with only occasional occurrences of TB-I spellings) during ca. 1-4 centuries A.D.
