Salguero says that Dharmarakṣa “should...be credited with the translation of” T701 and “some portion of” T553 and T554, “both texts that are erroneously attributed to An Shigao”. On this attribution for T701, he cites Demiéville (1985): 74; Boucher (1996): 278; and Heirman and Torck (2012): 56-57 n. 39. On T553/T554, he cites Salguero (2009). He adds (126): "In reality, the contents [of T553/T554] represent a patchwork of material cherry-picked from various sources, including perhaps a text translated by Dharmarakṣa's team in the third to fourth centuries, but certainly excerpts from Vinaya texts and adaptations of material from biographies of famous Chinese physicians found in the secular dynastic histories." |
