The First Fifty Similarity Untitled Discourses on Considerations Regarding Sights, Etc.
… “… considerations regarding sights … considerations regarding sounds … considerations regarding smells … considerations regarding tastes … considerations regarding touches … meditate observing impermanence in considerations about ideas … meditate observing suffering … meditate observing not-self … meditate observing ending … meditate observing vanishing … meditate observing fading away … meditate observing cessation … meditate observing letting go. …”
The “…” is an abbreviation carried over from the Pāli original itself, called peyyāla. The early canon was memorized and recited, so passages repeated verbatim from a preceding discourse were commonly contracted to an elision mark rather than written out in full. Venerable Thích Minh Châu's translation preserves this convention. Some texts therefore look short — but that is the canonical form, not missing content or a truncated translation. The elided passages can be read in full in the preceding discourses of the same chapter.
