In September 15, 2015, I was doing research at China National Library Beihai branch. I checked out two fragments of an edition of the Buddhist canon. According to Feng Dian'an 馮奠安 and Zhao Wanli 趙萬里, this is a fragment discovered in Famen Monastery in Fufeng country in Xi'an 扶風縣法門寺. At that time, the Buddha relics was not discovered yet. One of them is a page from Yogācār(y)abhūmiśāstra 瑜伽師地論, section 8 of 攝事分中本母事序辯攝 八 . The Qianziwen 千字文 character is  慶十. The transcription of the text from CBETA is as follows:



T30n1579_p0878a29(03)║雖更無別摩怛理迦。然為略攝。
T30n1579_p0878b01(08)║流轉還滅雜染清淨雜說法故。我今復說分別法相摩怛理迦。
T30n1579_p0878b02(00)║嗢拖南曰。
T30n1579_p0878b03(00)║ 要由餘釋餘  非即此釋此
T30n1579_p0878b04(00)║ 於前略序事  自後當廣辯
T30n1579_p0878b05(00)║若有諸法應為他說。要以餘門先總標舉。
T30n1579_p0878b06(00)║復以餘門後別解釋。若如是者名順正理。
T30n1579_p0878b07(00)║非即此門先總標舉。還以此門後別解釋。
T30n1579_p0878b08(00)║如先總舉云何有為後別釋言所謂五蘊。
T30n1579_p0878b09(00)║若如是者名順正理。
T30n1579_p0878b10(08)║非先總舉云何有為後別釋言所謂有為。如是一切應隨覺了。
T30n1579_p0878b11(00)║略由二相。應知建立分別法相摩怛理迦。
T30n1579_p0878b12(00)║一者先略序事。
T30n1579_p0878b13(10)║二者即依如是所略序事後當廣辯。 云何名為先略序事
