CILINA AND ANCIENT CEYLON, INTERESTING ARCHEOLOGICAL

DISCOVERY.

TRILINGCAL STONE AT OALLE.

Mr. Edward W, Perera contriliutes the following to the Spolia Zeytanien:-- A carved stone, inscribed in Chinese, Persian, and Tamil, wa discovered by Mr. H. F. Tomalin, Provincial Engineer, Southern Province, early in 1911, near the turn of Cripps road, within the town of Galle, The tablet was used as a cover stone of a culvert with the inscribed face downwards. The history of the "And is given in a note by Mr. K. A. Joseph, Honorary Secretary, Ceylon Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society, in the Journal of the Society for 1911. With com- mendable care, Mr. Tomalin had the tablet safely removed. It has proved to be a ual historical find, with an interest more than purely local. Dr. H. A. Biles, Professor of Chinese at Cam- bridge, thus speaks of it :-

The Arabic (1) is beyond decipherment, but enough in left of the Chinese to show that the tablet was erected in 1400 to commemorate a visit by the Chinese eunuch Cheng-Ho, who passed several times backwards and forwards over that route, In 1411 the sane eunuch was sent as envoy to Japan and narrowly escaped with his life."

Several experts were consulted in regard to the decipherment of the trilingual inscription which was greatly defaced,

COMPLETE TRANSLATION OF THE

CHINESE INSCRIPTION, which halled more than one scholar, was altimately secured through the courtesy of Mr. Jordan, the British Ambassador at Peking. Mr. Backhouse of Peking furnished a translation of the Chinese, which is given in Appendix 1.

It would seem that an attempt made by Cheng-Ho to seize for his master the most venerated relic of the Buddhist world culminated in the struggle in which the Sinhalese monarch fell a victim to Chinese strategy. But, as previously noted, nothing definite can be arrived at till the Chinese chronicles arr carefully analysed in the light of Ceylon history. Perhaps the Cayton Govern ment, which has displayed a practical interest in the discovery by securing the tablet for the Museum, getting it photo- graphed, and having a proper transla tion made, will take steps to obtain this information,
