“…There were some graves unearthed in China which brought to light well-preserved couches with reliefs which show interesting details of the daily life of the Sogdians. Among them scenes of fire altars are visible (Jiang 2000;Grenet, Riboud, and Junkai 2004). Therefore, Zoroastrianism could be identified also in the diaspora.…”

“…En confrontant textes et images, on a repris l'examen de ce panneau dont l'analyse a été publiée voici quelques années 11 . Nous nous étions alors arrêtés à une interprétation zoroastrienne de la scène figurée en haut à droite : l'âme du couple défunt accueillie, devant le dieu Way sur son trône (figuré à la sogdienne avec des traits shivaïtes), par la Dēn et deux suivantes, lesquelles se répartissent les attributs de l'accueil mentionnés pour la seule Dēn par le fragment sogdien T ii, manichéen d'inspiration zoroastrienne, à savoir la couronne de fleurs et la coupe 12 .…”
