Early Tamil Epigraphy: From the Earliest Times to the Sixth Century A.D. c28.s1.t10.35

c28.s1.t10.35

1. The lower end of the letter is damaged. On closer examination *in situ*, the letter is found to be *ti* as read by HKS and others, and not *vi* as read by me earlier and by RPS.
2. My earlier reading *mātavirai* has turned out to be incorrect. Read *matirai*-. See n.2, No. **24**. The case-ending *-kē* (*ku* + *ē*) is employed here in the possessive- locative sense. See Commentary for discussion.
3. The colon indicates that all the donors whose names are engraved in this long line (Nos. *39-45*) are from Matirai (Maturai).
