Other notes:
The dates appear in the colophon, Cullasakkarat: 207 hundred 80 and a moeng mot year are not corresponded to each other. The moeng mot year, the tenth waning day of the tenth lunar month, the third day of the week correspond to Tuesday 1st October, AD 1907. The front and back covers are added later as they were written in Tham Lue script.
