Though Sengyou ascribes this text to Zhi Qian, it is probably older (Han). In Sengyou's biographical section and Daoan, Zhi Qian is referred to as an author of a commentary on this text, not its translator. Entry author: Michael Radich |

Nattier (2008): 109-110, following Zacchetti (2004): 210-212, says that though Sengyou ascribes this text to Zhi Qian, it is probably older (Han).

According to Zürcher, Sengyou attributed thirty-six texts to Zhi Qian 支謙, of which twenty-three have survived: T54, T68, T76, T87, T169, T185, T198, T225, T281, T362, T474, T493, T532, T533, T556, T557, T559, T581, T632, T708, T735, T790, T1011. However, Zürcher notes that T68 “is not mentioned by Dao’an.” This entry includes all twenty-three texts accepted by Zürcher as genuine Zhi Qian translations. Entry author: Sophie Florence |

Nattier notes that the interlinear commentary in T225A cites T708. T708 must therefore date before the production of T225A. Entry author: Michael Radich |
