According to Kamata, the Chengju guangming jing 成具光明經 T630 is the only work ascribed correctly to Zhi Yao 支曜 in the Taishō. Ascriptions of other text to Zhi Yao are not acceptable, namely, the Analü ba nian jing 阿那律八念經 (T46), the Xiao dao di jing 小道地經 (T608), the Ma you san xiang jing 馬有三相經 (T114), and the Ma you ba tai pi ren jing 馬有八態譬人經 (T115) (162). [Atsushi: Kamata does not explain why the attribution of those texts to Zhi Yao is incorrect.]

Hayashiya's summary of the content of the catalogues on this title is as follows:

Sengyou's recompilation of Dao'an's catalogue of archaic alternate translations 新集安公古異經錄:
A Shan ma you san xiang jing 善馬有三相經 is listed in this catalogue, and was extant at the time of Sengyou.

Fajing’s Zhongjing mulu, Yancong’s Zhongjing mulu and Jingtai 靜泰錄:
Since this text was considered an alternate translation of Saṃyuktāgama 雜阿含 920 (found in juan 巻 33), Fajing’s Zhongjing mulu listed the Ma you san xiang jing 馬有三相經 in the category of alternate translations of the Saṃyuktāgama. Yancong’s Zhongjing mulu also classified this text as an alternate translations of part of SA. It was extant also in the Sui 隋 period. Jingtai recorded its length as two sheets 紙. Thus, this text was extant since the time of Sengyou down to the Tang 唐 period, while regarded as an anonymous scripture.

LDSBJ 三寶記 and KYL 開元錄:
However, LDSBJ classifies the Ma you san xiang jing as translated by Zhi Yao 支曜 in the Latter Han 後漢 period, and KYL followed LDSBJ in this regard. Hayashiya maintains that this attribution is groundless, like LDSBJ’s other attributions to Zhi Yao which are not found in earlier catalogues. Hayashiya points out that the Ma you san xiang jing is extant today as T114, and maintains that although the tone and vocabulary of T114 are that of the Latter Han 後漢 period, they are quite different from that of the Chengju guangming jing 成具光明經 translated by Zhi Yao.

Thus, Hayashiya concludes that T114 cannot be Zhi Yao's translation, and that the text must be listed as an anonymous scripture of the Latter Han 後漢 period.

In his report on Dao'an's catalogue of ancient alternate translations 新集安公古異經錄 Sengyou cites a/the Jiu lu 舊錄 as evidence for the following titles. This shows that these titles, being listed in the Jiu lu, were extant by whatever date that catalogue was compiled. It also means, conversely, if the date of any of these texts can be determined, that the Jiu lu must date at earliest after those texts.
