Abstract

The Sogdian inscriptions of the upper Indus are a corpus of more than 700 graffiti including 2 in Parthian, 2 in Middle Persian, 2 in Bactrian and the others in the Soghdian language and Some engravings carved on the boulders which litter the banks of this river; for the most part they consist of the personal names of visiting Sogdian merchants. These inscriptions belong to about the 3rd-6th centuries AD. The occurrence of Middle Persian names such as Shapur, Kartir, and Babak amongst the Sogdian names also suggests a time within the Sassanian period (i.e. 3rd-mid 7th century). In this Paper, I considered the common proper names between Sogdian and the west Middle Iranian Inscriptions, and then the similarities and differences are studied at the end.
