The fifth book of the Aṅguttara Nikāya, the Collection of the Numbered Discourses of the Buddha, collects 1152 suttas or discourses whose themes are centered on groups of five topics. It must be remembered that the nikayas were composed to be transmitted orally at a time when no writing system had yet been reintroduced in India. By that time, the ancient scripts of the archaic Harappan civilization had lost their meaning for no less than fifteen centuries and are still undecipherable to this day. Remembering was the key and redundancy was the guarantee for a successful transmission. All suttas fit into complex mnemonic systems designed to be tolerant to errors and even data loss. This not only served in its day for its correct transmission, but also became the most powerful tool for supporting the reconstruction of the message. This is especially important for The Book of Fives. This book contains suttas to be read, except for the final matikas contained in the last chapter. The content does not improve the interest of its predecessors in the numbered collection, and does not in any way displace the main work, the Saṃyutta Nikaya. In the section on anecdotal suttas, he once again emphasizes the nefariousness of the rulers, along the lines of the previous ones. In this case, the legitimate and meritorious defense of one's own wealth against the scourge of the rulers is included in AN 5.41 and AN 5.148. AN 5.104 collects their corrupt behavior. We can highlight the suttas in which the Buddha denounces the false bhikkhus who pass themselves off as such to live on it, also propagating false doctrines. AN 5.80 and AN 5.167 speak of those bogus bhikkhus who live in houses or ordain as a bastard means of earning a living. Messages that are very topical today. On the side of the false suttas marked with a double asterisk (**), we find this time only two false suttas. AN 5.229: Poisonous black snakes (I), the Buddha supposedly confers epithets on the woman such as these: “She is disgusting, stinking, cowardly, terrifying and treacherous. These are the five drawbacks of a woman. AN 5.230: Poisonous black snakes (II). If the previous one did not seem enough, and so that there is no doubt about the misogynist message that they hang on the Buddha, the sutta finishes off the woman as follows: «She is irritable, hostile, poisonous, biting and treacherous. This is the poison of a woman: she is normally very lustful. This is the forked tongue of a woman: she usually speaks deceptively. This is the betrayal of a woman: she is usually an adulteress." In summary, we continue in an arduous and exhaustive work of investigation and reconstruction in comparative linguistics to unravel some texts of scant interest
