A number of Mon stone inscriptions have been
found in Thaton. Most of them are unreadable.
Two important examples, labeled by Luce Trp
and Pandit, were issued by a ruler named in
these records as Makuta, styled king of kings,
or rjnma rjdhirja. H. L. Shorto dated both
epigraphs to the eleventh century, while Luce
placed them approximately in the middle of the
same century.
Another Mon inscription at Thaton recorded the
dedication of an ordination hall, or sima, whose
boundary stones depict the last ten jtakas. The
epigraph has been attributed to the eleventh
century by Luce and Shorto.
