The inscription has been read by several scholars such as W. Radloff, H. N. Orkun, S. E. Malov, K. Wulff (unpublished notes), N. Ser-Odjav, E. B. Rinchen, L. Bazin, L. V. Clark, L. Bold, E. Rejebov-Y. Memmedov, N. Bazilhan, M. Dobrovits and T. Osawa. However, all these readings are partly unconvincing. In the present paper, the author will examine and re-read the three faces of the inscription in the light of recent lexicological studies and try to propose a better reading and translation of the text.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessIxe Asxete inscriptionKhol-Asgat inscriptionOld TurkicArticle29473271WOS:000354401700013Q4
