Peevyhouse v. Garland Coal & Mining Co. is cited as 382 P.2d 109 (Okla. 1962). What does 'P.2d' indicate about the reporter?

In legal citations, the letters and numbers after the page indicate which reporter and which series published the case. Here, the letter P stands for the Pacific Reporter, a regional reporter. The 2d, or “Second Series,” shows that this is from the Pacific Reporter’s second series, a separate set of volumes from the Pacific Reporter’s first series. So 382 P.2d 109 means the case appears in volume 382 of the Pacific Reporter, Second Series, starting on page 109. The Second Series designation distinguishes it from the First Series (which would appear as P without the 2d) and from other, nonstandard abbreviations.
