The documents here transcribed were discovered by Sir Aurel Stein at the ancient site beyond the Niya River in his first expedition to Chinese
Turkestan in the years 1900-01. They are described and the circumstances of their discovery are recorded in Sir Aurel. Stein's Ancient Khotan (Oxford, 1907), to which constant references (denoted by S. AKh.) are given throughout this volume. Nearly all the inscriptions have been transcribed by all the three editors. The only exceptions are a few tablets bearing fragile clay seals which were not sent to MM. Senart and Boyer, and have not been seen by them. For the transcription of these Prof. Rapson is solely responsible.
