1. A short perpendicular line above and to the right of this letter is identified as a *puḷḷi* by Siromoney and Jebarajan. On close examination *in situ*, it is seen to be a thin scratch on the rock surface.
2. I had read this letter earlier as *ce*. I now read it as *ve*. KVS reads *vē*.
3. I had read this letter earlier as *ya*. I now read it as *na* following KVS.
4. *pikkaṇ*.
5. Read *veṇ-*. Cf. LT *veṇ* 'victory'. Cf. *veṇi* (*veṇi*/*veṇṇi*) (No. *70*). See section 7.7.2 on the incorrect use of the dental *n* for the alveolar *ṉ* in Tamil inscriptions.
