Chen lists thirty-three texts discussed in Sengyou's Chu sanzang ji ji for which dates are given, but where those dates cannot be corroborated by any "translation documents" [meaning primary sources discussing circumstances etc. of translation, such as colophons]:

[Su 1995]  Su Jinren 蘇晉仁. "Xuyan" 序言. In Su Jinren and Xiao Lianzi 蕭鍊子, eds. Chu sanzang ji ji 出三蔵記集. Zhongguo Fojiao dianji xuankan 中國佛教典籍選刊, 1-32. Beijing: Zhonghua shuju, 1995. — 19-20

At the end of the section on Qi texts, CSZJJ features a somewhat jumbled list of five texts, T2145 (LV) 13c9-20. Like Naitō (whom he does not cite), Su Jinren, "Intro" 19-20, regards this list as a later addition. He points out that the texts are not presented in chronological order, like other texts preceding them in the same section. LDSBJ does not cite CSZJJ as a source for these five texts. In fact, Zhisheng, in KYL, is the first to report them on the basis of CSZJJ. Su believes that this list must have been added to CSZJJ by a later hand.

The titles affected by this theory are: 教戒比丘尼法, 大智論抄, 虛空藏經, 十二因緣經, and 須達長者經. [The ascription of the present T73 to 求那毗地 may ultimately rest on this CSZJJ notice --- MR.]

[Naitō 1958]  Naitō Ryūo 内藤竜雄. "Shutsu sanzō ki shū no senshū nenji ni tsuite 『出三藏記集』の撰集年次について.” IBK 7, no. 1 (1958): 162-163.

For the 撰出經論 section of CSZJJ, LDSBJ T2034 (XLIX) 125c17-126a8 reports 30 texts/66 fascicles less than our extant CSZJJ. Naitō cannot account for all these differences, but suggests that in part, they should be accounted for by five texts/31 fascicles at the end of the 詮名錄 in our received CSZJJ. [T2145 (LV) 13c9-20 --- MR.] This list of five texts is messy, and inconsistent with what precedes it. Preceding items are grouped chronologically, but this list jumps around in time. Three items on the list appear to interrupt a listing of the works of *Guṇavr̥ddha 求那毘陀, after which the section in question returns to him and adds two more lists to his name. Naitō suggests that this list is a later addition, and that Fei Zhangfang saw a version of CSZJJ without it. The five texts include the 教戒比丘尼法, dated to Tianjian 3 (504), and so the revision should have occurred after that year; the two texts ascribed to Guṇavr̥ddha among the presumed additions are dated to Jianwu 建武 2 (495), and so the text preceding the revision should have covered texts down to that year at the latest. The titles affected by this hypothesis are: 教戒比丘尼法, 大智論抄, 虛空藏經, 十二因緣經, and 須達長者經 (cf.T73).
