Footnotes
422:2 The Samanta Pâsâdikâ says, Pakkhimasmim âpattikkhandhe ti eko ’va so
âpattikkhandho, patikkhâditattâ pana pakkhimasmim âpattikkhandhe ti vuttam.
Purimasmin ti etthâpi es’ eva nayo.
423:1 See the close of the last note.
423:2 This section should correspond to chap. 31, section 2, but as noted by H.
O. in his edition of the text, p. 312, there is very great confusion in the MSS.
We ought to have four cases of which the distinctions are as under. Those
offences
1concealed beforeare afterwardsnot concealed+-
not concealed before "not "--
2concealed before "not "+-
not concealed before "concealed-+
3concealed before "concealed++
not concealed before "not concealed--
4concealed before "concealed++
not concealed before "concealed-+

All these four cases are required to make up the one hundred p. 424 cases
mentioned in the title at the close of chap. 30; but the first is altogether
omitted in the text, and the others are not properly discriminated. We have
supplied the first in brackets, and corrected the others accordingly.
