Nattier argues that the “He weimi chi jing ji” 合微密持經記 (“Preface to the Synoptic Anantamukha-dhāranī”), which many scholars have taken to be by Zhi Qian on the basis of the fact that it bears a byline reading Zhi Gongming 支恭明 (T2145 [LV] 51c17-52a10), cannot in fact be by him, nor anywhere near so early. Nattier bases her argument upon the fact that the note refers to Zhi Qian's own translation, as one of the three texts combined into the "synoptic edition"; and also the fact that it contains information anachronistic for Zhi Qian's time.
