v1.c19.36

³ The works comprised in this Pitaka are:
1. Dhamma-saṅgaṇi. 2. Vibhaṅga.
3. Kathâ-vatthu. 4. Puggala-paññatti.
5. Dhâtu-kathâ. 6. Yamaka.
7. Paṭṭhâna. The Abhidhamma of the Sarvâstivâdins was entirely different. It seems probable that the Abhidhamma books of all schools consisted almost entirely of explanatory matter and added very little to the doctrine laid down in the suttas. It would appear that the only new topic introduced in the Pali Abhidhamma is the theory of relations (paccaya).
