### Note on Citation and Bibliographic Form

### [c5.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.salomon-1998.c5.1)

Individual inscriptions referred to in the text are cited with a brief reference (e.g., abbreviated title of journal, volume, page numbers); detailed references are given in the Index of Inscriptions Cited at the end of this book. Similarly, references to books are given in shortened form (author and title) if the books are listed in the bibliography; otherwise they are cited in full. (For criteria of inclusion, see the note at the beginning of the bibliography.) This system has been adopted in the hope of striking a compromise between convenience of reference and cumbersome detail in the main text. It also permits the Index of Inscriptions Cited and the bibliography to function simultaneously as documentation for this book and as general compilations of important inscriptions and epigraphic publications, respectively.

### [c5.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.salomon-1998.c5.2)

Where appropriate, brief bibliographic summaries of specialized literature relevant to a particular section are added after the heading.

### [c5.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.salomon-1998.c5.3)

References to page numbers in other publications are given using only numbers (e.g., EI 1, 1–10); citations with “p(p).” refer to pages of this book. But
