The trilingual Kushan royal inscription of Dašt-i Nāwur has been the subject of scholarly controversies since the time of its first scientific publication (Fussman 1974), with different authors defending opposing views and mutually incompatible readings, in particular of the Bactrian part of the inscription (e.g. Davary & Humbach 1976; Sims-Williams & Cribb 1996; Fussman 1998). Progress in the understanding of the inscription has been hampered by inadequate photographic documentation, but also by the comparatively small amount of information on the Bactrian language that was available at the time of its first publication. A color photograph of the Bactrian inscription probably taken in 1969, which was unavailable to earlier editors, has now been made publicly accessible by the Collège de France as part of the estate of the late Gérard Fussman. This article presents a new reading of the inscription based on this photograph, diverging in many respects from earlier interpretations. It includes a response to the recent re-edition of Palunčić et al. (2023), who have also taken the new photograph into account but reached different conclusions.

Dašt-i Nāwur 三语（DN I）双峰部分的新读

Dašt-i Nāwur 的三语贵霜皇家铭文自首次科学出版（Fussman 1974）以来一直是学术争议的主题，不同的作者捍卫相反的观点和相互不兼容的解读，特别是铭文的巴克特里亚部分（例如 Davary & Humbach 1976；Sims-Williams & Cribb 1996；Fussman 1998）。由于照片记录不足，而且在首次出版时可获得的有关巴克特里亚语言的信息相对较少，对铭文的理解进展受到阻碍。大巴克特里亚铭文的彩色照片可能拍摄于 1969 年，早期的编辑无法获得该照片，但现在法兰西学院已将其作为已故热拉尔·福斯曼 (Gérard Fussman) 遗产的一部分向公众开放。本文根据这张照片对铭文进行了新的解读，在许多方面与早期的解释有所不同。它包括对 Palunčić 等人最近重版的回应。 （2023），他们也考虑了这张新照片，但得出了不同的结论。
