C. 86 Doorjamb at Mỹ Sơn

Please note: you are reviewing a preprint version of this publication. Contents here may change significantly in future versions. Scholars with specific interests are urged to consult all cited bibliography before using our texts and translations or drawing other significant conclusions.

Support Doorjamb; sandstone; we have not recorded dimensions, but Finot 1904d: 976 has recorded the following: h. 105 cm × w. 35.

Text two texts of 10 lines (C. 86.1) and 8 lines (C. 86.2) engraved on one face written in Old Cam.

Date 1156 Śaka (1234/5 CE). 1152 Śaka (1230/1 CE).

Origin Site of Mỹ Sơn (Quảng Nam).

It was found at Mỹ Sơn and was presented as the Northern interior doorjamb of B1 temple (Finot 1904d: 976). Later, Parmentier 1909: 382 informed us that the Northern doorjamb is “resté en place pour le bas (...) La partie supérieure A (i.e. the one bearing the inscriptions C. 86.1), qui menace de tomber, a été couchée sur le mur N. du vestibule”. We identified the stone at the Mỹ Sơn site in 2009, as the one bearing local inventory numbers 03MSD347 and 03MSB1601. C. 86.1 is now located in the D yard; C. 86.2 at the B1 temple's entrance (see ECIC III: 456 (map) and 458).

Edition(s) First published, with French translation, in Finot 1904d: 976-977; whence C. 86.2 was summed up and C. 86.1 was translated into English in Majumdar 1927: 207-208; Golzio 2004: 178 read and translated both. The present edition and translation after ECIC IV: 264-265.
