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
‘Yanmen qun’ (雁门群), retained as written; believing disciple Nong Zhengxing (农正兴), followed by 號 (hao).
Date as written
Thành Thái, yiyou (乙酉), sixth month, day 15; copying recorded.
Dating candidates in the August edition
Undetermined.
Dating rationale
No yiyou year falls within Thành Thái's reign. At least one element—the reign name or cyclical date—requires reinterpretation.

Conflicting evidence.
Place formula as written
Đại Nam—Tuyên Quang province—Xiang'an prefecture (大南国宣光省襄安府); separately, Yanmen (雁门), an ancestral / lineage marker.
Historical geography and its limits
Administrative sequence: Đại Nam → Tuyên Quang province → Tương An / Tương Yên prefecture. Record Yanmen separately as ancestral / lineage geography, not as another unit in the address.

Analysis in the August edition
For now, this entry is best coded under: Reign era · Administrative / geographical markers · Ancestral / lineage geography · Buluotuo / Muliujia · Conflicting dates. 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
Retain 雁门群 as written. Code it provisionally as ancestral / lineage geography, pending character verification.
