The local ruler in Tukhāristān is referred to as khar in the Bactrian documents. In the first chapter, I scrutinized all documents in which khar is mentioned and showed the following possibilities: there were a number of khars in Tukhāristān from region to region and their regional control changed with the times; apart from khar, there was shaho ‘king’ in this region and shaho was gradually replaced by khar; the khar’s jurisdiction corresponded with the largest administrative division, which is referred to as shahro ‘city’ in the documents.
