Inscription of Hüis Tolgoi

The 11-line text is written in vertical Brahmi script running right to left with horizontal marks separating words.

The language of the inscription was unknown until the joint expedition of Alexander Vovin, Étienne de la Vaissière, Dieter Maue and Mehmet Ölmez to Mongolia in 2014 for closer imaging of the stele.

Mehmet Ölmez elaborated on the details of the expedition while Étienne de la Vaissière provided a historian's perspective.

[2] There was an Uighur chief at the time reportedly entitled Bodhisattva (藥羅葛菩薩; pinyin: Yaoluoge Pusa) who, however, never has the title of khagan in Chinese sources, but of xielifa.

[2] The text might be historical, but with Buddhist overtones,[2] a religion that was quite important to the Rouran elites[1] and other steppe people.
