N: As I wrote before:
< The Dhammasaòganī begins with the Måtika, a table of contents or
matrix, which is an introduction. It is more extensive than a table
of contents. This mātikā has been arranged by way of triads and
dyads. It is a survey of the contents of the first book and can even
serve as an introduction to all seven books. Different groups of
defilements have been listed, such as the intoxicants (āsavas),
fetters, ties, floods, yokes, hindrances. >
Thus, it is more than just a table of contents.
Also in the Pa.tisambhidaamagga, the Path of Discrimination (Khuddaka
NIkaaya) we find a matika (here translated as schedule) which gives
the contents of each chapter.
PED gives some info. maatikaa nikkhepa, putting down of a summary. In
the Atthasaalini, the Summary Ch, nikkhepaa-ka.n.da.
