¹ Ed. *Trenckner*, p. 22, about monks who are tepiṭakā, *i.e.*, "knowers of the three piṭakas," and those who are pañcanekāyikā and catunekāyikā, "knowers of the five Nikāyas" and "knowers of the four Nikāyas." I see no reason for regarding this passage as interpolated, as does F. O. *Schrader*. Sanskrit *trepiṭaka* occurs in an inscription of King Kaniṣka (2nd century A.D.), s. J. Ph. *Vogel*, Ep. Ind. VIII. 176.
