Gāndhārī Ekottarikāgama-type sūtras
by Mark Allon, Andrew Glass, British Library
British Library Kharoṣṭhī fragments 12 and 14
Paraphrased from page 7:
The 'Budhabayana-sutra' appears to be part of a Gandhari (AD 10-30) version of the Anguttara Nikaya Section of Fours, but unlike the sutras which precede and follow this one in the recovered scrolls (corresponding to the Pali AN 4.36 and AN 4.14), it has as yet no known equivalent in Pali, Sanskrit, Tibetan, or Chinese translation. Later (p. 224, the first page of the link) the authors stress that because of this, any translation must be provisional.
Here is the link to at least part of this text, courtesy of Google books.
The Budhabayana-sutra
The Budhabayana-sutra
- "And how is it, bhikkhus, that by protecting oneself one protects others? By the pursuit, development, and cultivation of the four establishments of mindfulness. It is in such a way that by protecting oneself one protects others.
"And how is it, bhikkhus, that by protecting others one protects oneself? By patience, harmlessness, goodwill, and sympathy. It is in such a way that by protecting others one protects oneself.
- Sedaka Sutta [SN 47.19]

Thanks for that interesting link.
It includes:
This is is repeated for various situations, and there is also talk about"The Buddha's teaching is easy to perform, but only by a wise man, not a fool.
Good action is not easy to perform while going. Monks, on account of the Buddha's teaching it is easy to perform while going, but only by a wise man, not a fool.
It's interesting, since all of that sounds familiar, but hard to place. Perhaps someone can point to these messages in other Suttas."exerting for the attainment of the unattained..."
