There are 2 AN 10.199s

  1. Part of a group of condensed suttas.
  2. AN 10.199 all by itself.

Hmm … it’s normal that suttas that are part of a range can also be viewed individually. But in this case, the range and the individual suttas seem to be identical—which is strange.

I think the numbering of the range file is not logical. All segments have the same number an10.199-210 before the colon, and after the colon they have 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 1.1, 1.2, etc., up to 4.6. This doesn’t reflect the fact that the range consists of 12 suttas which are distinguished by what one should and shouldn’t do with the people described. Like “you should (not) associate”, “you should (not) frequent”, etc.

Bhante @sujato?

It’s possible that there are more cases like this.

Exactly.

@Jhana4 If you look at the page with all the suttas listed, you can see it is only there once.

So this is a text requiring debaking, i.e. splitting the range into its component suttas within the internal segment IDs. Generally it is preferred to debake range suttas when the individual sutta numbers can be confidently defined.

This sutta is a good candidate for debaking. I’ve created a new issue for this here:

Please feel free to add to it, I’ll get to this list when back in Oz.

(Also I changed the translation a bit to make the structure clearer.)
