māyo yatir vviprādi-pūjitaḥ śilām imām asau saimīṁ sthāpayām āsa bhikṣubhiḥ ne śuci-saṁvatsare śake daśame caitra-śukle bhūt sīmeyaṁ saṅgha-sammatā

cet ascète honoré par les brahmanes a érigé cette pierre tenant l'office de borne, avec les bhikṣu.

En śaka dans l'année Śuśi dixième jour de la lune croissante de Caitra, cette borne a été fixée par l'Assemblée.

The word saima, saimī, does not appear in the lexicons, but its derivation from sīmā, and hence its meaning, are both certain (71601).

śuśi is possibly a synonym of śukla, name of the 3rd year of the sexagenarian cycle. In this case, we would have a choice between the years 611, 671, 731... (71602).
