He suggests on this basis that the preface may be in part or whole a forgery. The same verse also appears in T161, which is listed among Dao'an's anonymous scriptures, and Zacchetti discusses the possibility that Tanwulan could have got it from there; however, he follows Zürcher in noting that the portion of T161 containing this verse only appears at the end of the text, and is missing in some editions, and is therefore a likely spurious later addition.
