Bičiktu-Boom XI–XII (A-37)

Description

These inscriptions are lost now. We only have a copy made by A.T. Tybykova during an expedition together with D.D. Vasil’ev, thus, we cannot compare the signs to the original.

It is not clear how many lines this inscription has, and also the direction of writing. We consider each fragment a separate line.

1. The third line is read as b(ä)n ‘я’.

2. The fouth line is likely to be read as bay b(ä)n ‘I am rich’.
