Radich argues, on the basis of internal (stylistic) evidence, that T388 is to be most closely associated with the idiom of *Dharmakṣema. However, peculiarities in the patterns of shared terminology between this and other Dharmakṣema texts argue against us taking this text as a straight translation, and suggest, rather, that it may have been composed on the basis of a close set of Dharmakṣema texts, or by someone steeped in the Dharmakṣema idiom, etc.
