Beginning and conclusion are mis sing. The text is difficult to identify. Script and idiom of both texts are East Javanese, showing Madurese influence. Madurese words (buntén) are used. The writing of text I is rather coarse. The scribe of text II did his best to write scholarly. The manuscript was bought from A. Fatatri, of Leiden, in 1971.
