Edition & evidence
This is the corrected August working catalogue, not a final physical bibliography. Later September re-readings are presented separately in the GSS research dossier. Dating candidates, locations, interpretations, and unresolved readings are preserved as distinct evidence layers.
The English commentary accompanies the preserved Chinese record. Quoted historical wording and unidentified characters are retained; candidate readings remain provisional.

Names and recorded roles
Lu Daozhu (陆道珠).
Date as written
‘XX year 9’, yimao (乙卯), middle third of the first month; copying recorded (XX九岁次乙卯年正月中旬日立抄).
Dating candidates in the August edition
Provisionally 1915.
Dating rationale
Within the relevant period, yimao could be 1855 or 1915. If the missing wording ‘XX九’ can be verified as Duy Tân year 9, the date is 1915. This also agrees with the proposed same-person sequence for Lu Daozhu in A02 and A03.
Confidence in the August edition
Moderate to high; missing reign-name characters require verification.
Place formula as written
Not found in the available record.
Historical geography and its limits
The available record contains no place names suitable for reconstructing an administrative hierarchy. Provenance is not inferred from the style of the contents.

Analysis in the August edition
For now, this entry is best coded under: Nôm characters · Rare character forms. Further analysis should first establish the location of inscriptions, ink colour and handwriting, and textual function, then compare independent materials. A single character form, state name, or divine name cannot establish provenance or the direction of transmission.
Evidence limits and unresolved readings
‘XX九’ and yimao coexist; do not supply a reign name without verification.
