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_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。
