Origin of codicological unit 2
1592-1632 (reign) 1610-1632 according to Manfred Kropp 1592 according to Paolo Marrassini Kropp argues that Codicological Unit p2 was written in the time of King Susǝnyos most probably after 1610 because Chronicle of Śarḍa Dǝngǝl is presented in the so-called "censored version"
