Uttaravihāra untranslated

Uttaravihāra. Another name for the Abhayagirivihāra (q.v.). The inhabitants of the Uttaravihāra seem to have kept a chronicle, in the same way as did the dwellers of the Mahā Vihāra. This is often referred to in the Mahā Vaṁsaṭīkā, as the Uttaravihāra Aṭṭhakathā and the Uttaravihāra Mahā Vaṁsa. Judging from the quotations from this work given in the Mahā Vaṁsaṭīkā, the Uttaravihāra chronicle seems to have differed from the tradition of the Mahā Vihāra more in detail than in general construction. It is not possible to say whether it contained exegetical matter on the Pāli Canon besides matters of historical interest. For a detailed account of the work see Geiger: The Dīpavaṁsa and the Mahā Vaṁsa, pp.50ff; also my edition of the Mahā Vaṁsaṭīkā.
