*According to H. Richardson, PT 1091 may "concern the rising against the Tibetans at Sha-cu in about 797" (Richardson 1992 p. 5)

14/08/2022 update :
A councillor Mang bzhre (= Mang bzher) is also mentioned in the Khotanese ms. Or. 11252/3, dating from the second Tibetan occupation. It appears that the Tibetan officials is ordering the local merchants to send him wine (c. 792-c. 851, see Skjærvø 2004 p. 36)
