As Pallegoix's spelling involves the use of a great many accents I have sometimes begun by using the strictly correct orthography and afterwards a simpler but intelligible form. It should be noted that in this orthography ":" is not a colon but a sign that the vowel before it is very short.] [Footnote 189: The name is found on Champan inscriptions of 1050 A.D. and according to Gerini appears in Ptolemy's _Samarade_ = Sâmaraṭṭha. See Gerini, _Ptolemy_, p. 170. But Samarade is located near Bangkok and there can hardly have been Tais there in Ptolemy's time.] [Footnote 190: So too in Central Asia Kustana appears to be a learned distortion of the name Khotan, made to give it a meaning in Sanskrit.] [Footnote 191: Gerini states (_Ptolemy_, p. 107) that there are Pali manuscript chronicles of Lamphun apparently going back to 924 A.D.] [Footnote 192: Strictly Sŭkhồthăi.] [Footnote 193: Phongsá va: dan or Vaṃsavâda. See for Siamese chronicles, _B.E.F.E.O._ 1914, No. 3, "Recension palie des annales d'Ayuthia," and _ibid._ 1916, pp. 5-7.] [Footnote 194: _E.g._ Aymonier in _J.A._ 1903, p. 186, and Gerini in _Journal of Siam Society_, vol. II. part 1, 1905.] [Footnote 195: See especially Fournereau and the publications of the Mission Pavie and _B.E.F.E.O._] [Footnote 196: Gerini, _Ptolemy_, p. 176.] [Footnote 197: See Fournereau, I. p. 225. _B.E.F.E.O._ 1916, III. pp. 8-13, and especially Bradley in _J. Siam Society_, 1909, pp. 1-68.] [Footnote 198: This alphabet appears to be borrowed from Cambojan but some of the letters particularly in their later shapes show the influence of the Môn or Talaing script. The modern Cambojan alphabet, which is commonly used for ecclesiastical purposes in Siam, is little more than an elaborate form of Siamese.] [Footnote 199: See _B.E.F.E.O._ 1904, p. 161.] [Footnote 200: Bradley, _J. Siam Society_, 1913, p. 10, seems to think that Pali Buddhism may have come thence but the objection is that we know a good deal about the religion of Camboja and that there is no trace of Pali Buddhism there until it was imported from Siam. The fact that the Siamese alphabet was borrowed from Camboja does not prove that religion was borrowed in the same way. The Mongol alphabet can be traced to a Nestorian source.] [Footnote 201: See for these inscriptions papers on the Malay Peninsula and Siam by Finot and Lajonquière in _Bull. de la Comm. Archéol. de l'Indo-Chine_, 1909, 1910 and 1912.] [Footnote 202: Fournereau, pp. 157 ff. and Coedès in _B.E.F.E.O._ 1917, No. 2. Besides the inscription itself, which is badly defaced in parts, we have (1) a similar inscription in Thai, which is not however a translation, (2) a modern Siamese translation, used by Schmitt but severely criticized by Coedès and Petithuguenin.] [Footnote 203: This portion of the narrative is found only in Schmitt's version of the Siamese translation. The part of the stone where it would have occurred is defaced.]
