●In Jedong temple, 12 inscriptions have been found by scholars of inscription epigraphy, which were later named Jedog Inscriptions I – IX.
●The twelve inscriptions contain data dating from the 15th century, meaning that the Jedong site existed from the reign of Belitung (Ancient Mataram) to Girisawardhana (Majapahit).

●At that time, Jedong had become a Tulangan Perdikan village. So, the name Tulangan is the initial term for Jedong. This period coincided with the reign of King Balitung (898-913 AD) who ruled in ancient Mataram, in Central Java.
●Jedong II (Kambang Sri) inscription with Old Javanese letters and Old Javanese language dated 848 S or 929 ADits contents include King Rakai Layang Dyah Tulodong who ruled Ancient Mataram (920-928 AD). This inscription gives a clue that Jedong at this time was called Kambang Sri.

●Apart from the inscriptions above, a number of short inscriptions were also found, which are also related to the existence of the Jedong site.
●This site is also mentioned in the Book of Negara Kertagama, a 'journalistic' work during the reign of King Hayam Wuruk in Majapahit.
