They appoint people who are reliable and capable as Aasiriyam (custodian or protector) of the property.
“People are recognized as Aasiriyamwere more like the current village administrative officer who serves as a tax collector and authority to resolve complaints,” Manikandan said.

The tablet is estimated from the 14th century.
