Colophon:
Monk Buddhavaṃsa wrote this manuscript during his stay at Wat Ban Hong Tai in CS 1207, a sai year, on the third waning-moon day of the twelfth [lunar] month, the fifth day of the week. Mr. Suddha was the principal [lay] initiator, together with his wife Mrs. Khamoei and his family members, who sponsored the writing of this manuscript entitled Seven Treatises of Abhidhamma to sustain the Teachings of the Buddha. May this merit lead us to the Nibbāna.
