Here are Professor Farker's actual words, which he [wisely] refrains from repro dacing:
"In 815 new "south-pointing charict " (chith run chi) was constructed (hrin laic) in order to mark the distance and time (chi like) it is vident this way no complas But in 820 there is a second notice which seems to suggest two sapiate instruments thi chính năm chi chủ & bụi chín)."
Such is the whole of Profesor Parker's Lawn contribution to the subject in 1906, from which it is' chiety apparent that he then thought the "south-pointing chariot and the measure-mile drum-carringe " were one and the same instrumenta mistake which he now passus [vainly tries to stur] over.
