Notes
  1. (Hmannan Vol. 1 2003: 370) gives Wednesday, 15th waxing of Tabaung 674 ME, which translates to 10 February 1313. But 15th waxing is most probably a copying error since it is highly uncommon to say 15th waxing instead of full moon. The date was probably 12th waxing of Tabaung, which correctly translates to Wednesday, 7 February 1313. Burmese numerals ၂ (2) and ၅ (5) are similar and can easily be miscopied.

gollark: Mine just ineffectually blocks a few sites, meaning that everyone just uses shady VPNs.
gollark: Is that actually possible? I think they can filter by domain at most.
gollark: Oh, the thing in the 802.1x menu I think. That's probably fine maybe.
