The story

The surviving evidence establishes this unit of account, but a fuller narrative is still being developed. Its known connections are shown above; the research page documents what is established and what remains uncertain.

Turning points

Account-unit observation

The copperplate dated 900 records acquittal of a debt of one kati and eight suwarna. The obligation is explicit; place of issuance and broader local identity remain qualified because provenance is uncertain. [1]
