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.
Working tags
Administrative / geographical markers · Multiple dates
Names and recorded roles
‘大河传，戊寅钉’ retained as written; Daoist Lin Zhensong (林真嵩), with 號字 (hao zi). The first formula's segmentation and roles remain unresolved.
Date as written
Wuyin (戊寅); a second date records copying on day 12 of the eighth month in guisi year (癸巳).
Dating candidates in the August edition
Candidate sequences: 1818 → 1833, or 1878 → 1893.
Dating rationale
Wuyin precedes guisi in the book. Both proposed sequences satisfy that order. 1938 → 1953 exceeds this group's working cutoff. Current evidence cannot choose between the first two sequences.
Confidence in the August edition
Low.
Place formula as written
Đại Nam, Cao Bằng province (大南国高平省).
Historical geography and its limits
Đại Nam → Cao Bằng province; provincial level only.

Analysis in the August edition
For now, this entry is best coded under: Administrative / geographical markers · Multiple 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 大河传，戊寅钉 without alteration. Segmentation and recorded roles require verification.
Original working transcription · Chinese source
Retained verbatim for comparison. This is the researcher’s transcription, not a verified edition of the complete manuscript.
