50. *SII*. iii, 54. The text is: mē-nīrum kiṇārum nīr-kkīy vilaiyum ugappār ponnum. Hultzsch translates this into: 'the high level water, the wells, the price paid for water, the gold of *ugappār*.' *Mē-nīr* in contrast with kiṇaru (well) seems to imply 'a receptacle of water from above', a tank. The whole of the first phrase, therefore, may be understood as above.
