Description of manuscript content:

The text of Patimokha was written in Pali and contains a list of the 227 rules abided by monks. A recitation of the Patimokkha by a monk takes place in an assembly of the Sangha in the monastic hall on every full moon day and new moon day which is called uposatha day.

Colophon:

Folio 45 on the recto side: In Cula-sakkarat (CS) 1229, a moeng mao year, on the thirteenth day of the waxing moon of the third [lunar] month, a tao set day, the fifth day of the week (Thursday), at the time of the morning drum (7:30–9:00), the writing of this manuscript was finished. Thit (Mr. ex-monk) No and Sao (Mrs.) Kaeo, husband and wife, had jointly the religious faith to sponsor the making of this manu-script entitled Lamsut to support the Teachings of the Buddha to last the longest. May this be a condition for Lokiya (worldly property), Lokuttara (supermandance) and Magga-nibbana (Nirvana) which are the ultimate Dhamma for me.
