[93] From a copper plate of 493 A.D., found at K[=a]r[=i]tal[=a][=i],
Central India. [Fleet, loc. cit., Plate XVI.] It should be stated, however,
that many of these copper plates, being deeds of property, have forged
dates so as to give the appearance of antiquity of title. On the other
hand, as Colebrooke long ago pointed out, a successful forgery has to
imitate the writing of the period in question, so that it becomes evidence
well worth considering, as shown in Chapter III.
[94] From a copper plate of 510 A.D., found at Majhgaw[=a]in, Central
India. [Fleet, loc. cit., Plate XIV.]
[95] From an inscription of 588 A.D., found at B[=o]dh-Gay[=a], Bengal
