Abstract
The article considers an inscription on a clay form for casting a bronze cauldron which was found in the temple Oxa's yard (the settlement Takhti-Sangin, the Southern Tajikistan) in 2007. The complex paleographic analysis of the inscription and its lexical, spelling and syntactic features allows concluding that it is dated the second half of the 1 st century AD. The inscription along with the other data testifies multifunctional and deep influence of Hellenism on the Central Asian community and culture. It also verifies that even after the Greek- Macedonian dynasties fall the Greek language was preserving its high prestige.
