abstract = {{Ever since its first edition by G{\'e}rard Fussman (1974), progress in the understanding of the trilingual Kushan royal inscription of Das{\v{}}t-i Na{\={}}wur has been hindered by inadequate photographic documentation and the overall unfavourable state of the inscription documented in these photographs. This holds especially true for the Kharoṣṭh{\=\i}/G{\=a}ndh{\=a}r{\=\i} part of the inscription (DN IV). However, recent advances in Kushan studies and the interpretation of the Bactrian part of the trilingual (DN I) allow for new insights into the content and makeup of the trilingual that also have implications for the interpretation of the G{\=a}ndh{\=a}r{\=\i} part. On the backdrop of these recent findings and based on photographs from the estate of the late G. Fussman that have only recently been made available by the Coll{\`e}ge de France, this article presents a new reading of the first three lines of the G{\=a}ndh{\=a}r{\=\i} part, contrasts it with readings that have previously been proposed, and in passing discusses methodological issues that arise when dealing with inscriptions with such an unfavourable documentation.}},
