c7.s1.t2.22

²² As has been noted in various sources, most recently SAI 259–61, the interpretation of Pāṇini's prescription (4.1.49) of the feminine adjective *yavanānī* as referring to *lipi*, i.e., the Greek script, is based on a *vārtikā* of Kātyāyana and hence does not prove anything about Pāṇini's own knowledge of Greek script.
