Colophon:

Folio 22 on the recto side: In Culasakkarat 189 (corresponding with CS 1189), a moeng khai year, a hap mao day, on the ninth waning day of the second [lunar] month, the fifth day of the week (Thursday), the writing of this manuscript was finished at the time of the sunset drum (between 13.30–15.00 o’clock). Ai (“elder brother”) Tònkaeo and his parents and all their relatives had the ardent religious faith to jointly sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Lam Susavannachak to support the Teachings of the Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. Nibbāna paccayo hotu no (May this be a condition for us to reach Nirvāna).
