Zacchetti (2010): 163-168 argues that though 247 is usually regarded as the start date for Kang Senghui's activity, there are reasons to believe that he was already active in the 220s, when he was involved in the composition of the commentary on the Anban shouyi jing. Sakaino (1935): 241-243 infers that Kang Senghui 康僧會 and Kang Sengkai (*Saṁghavarman) 康僧鎧 are actually the same person. His inference can be outlined as follows: It was Dao’an who first made the mistake of recording Kang Sengkai 康僧鎧 as Kang Senghui 康僧會 in his Zhongjing mulu 衆經目錄, one of his rare mistakes. Kai 鎧 and hui 會 had the same pronunciation 通音, and hence could easily be confused with each other. The original name behind Sengkai 僧鎧, i.e., *Saṅghavarman, is easy to identify, but that behind Senghui 僧會 is difficult to guess.
