In this article, I publish two Khotanese account tablets written on wooden boards. These tablets are closely related to one another, and are records of grain expenditure from the same village granary in Khotan within the same eight-month period in a certain year of the eighth century CE. By means of new transcriptions and translations as well as textual commentaries, the content and the making of these tablets in a Khotanese village granary are discussed. These tablets are important for the study of Khotanese history, because they help us define and clarify the roles of the social institutions of the family-village and the village-level granary. They thus enrich our understanding of local society in pre-Islamic Khotan.
