Article reports new readings of inscriptions in Issyk-Kushan script, suggesting implications for Bactrian understanding.
A bstract This article presents additional readings of several inscriptions written in the Issyk‐Kushan script, building on the improved system of sound values recently proposed by Sims‐Williams (2025b). We propose that some further lines of Dašt‐i Nāwur inscription DN III and parts of several other inscriptions can now be read as Bactrian, add new first‐hand data from the Almosi inscription site and suggest decipherments for a few previously undeciphered characters of the script.
