Dear Petra,
I think the article you're referring to is the one Bryan attached in the
previous message. I now have it open on the computer and it's exactly what I
was hoping to find. It's truly amazing that the transcription I glanced over
matches the Pali we're all familiar with fifteen centuries later.
Thanks, and also thanks to Bryan and Dmytro for their help.
Best wishes,
Jim

Hi Jim, and others,
these epigraphic material is edited by Harry Falk, who also
investigated the language. I think I have that article.
All the best,
Petra
