According to Harrison, T101(9) (untitled) is not by An Shigao, even if the rest of T101 may well be. Sengyou, in CSZJJ, lists among "ancient variant translations" 25 works with titles that Shiio (1937) noticed match texts in T101. However, nos. 9 and 10 are missing from this list. T612 is "the same translation" as T101(9), but is ascribed to Dharmarakṣa in the present Taisho. Harrison suggests that T101(9), along with T101(10), might be more likely to be by Dharmarakṣa than An Shigao. However, he also says that T612 "prosodically ... seems rather irregular for Dharmarakṣa, and in many respects the style and diction are not out of line with other works by An Shigao. He also notes that T612 is not ascribed to Dharmarakṣa by Sengyou.

See also Nattier (2008) for a summary of relevant scholarship. Nattier merely says that the "style (of this text) appears to be of a different vintage" (66).
