A newly discovered sacred compound in the Hissar Range close to Dushanbe in Tajikistan provided one inscription in the Bactrian script which mentions Wema Takhtu. In addition, there were found three inscriptions in one of the scripts met with in Gandhara labeled “unknown” or “undeciphered”. The script in question is already wellknown from Dasht-e Nāwur. The paper shows that it is possible to read parts of the text with confidence since it runs parallel to the Bactrian inscription. The language appears to be Bactrian as well. A crucial term is Skt. eḍūka or elūka, denoting a stone construction for human remains. This turns the mountain site into a sort of graveyard, possibly with Wema Takhtu as an occupant.
