In 2000, five anti-conspirator decree tablets of the Yuan Dynasty were discovered piled up on the site of the eastern city of Sui-Tang Luoyang. The obverse side is cast with Chinese characters: a large “令” in the center and “除伪防奸不许” and “借带违者治罪” on the right and left respectively. The reverse side bears Phagspa, Mongolo-Uighur and Persian scripts. The present paper deciphers the inscriptions and studies the nature and use of the tablets. These findings represent a type of decree tablet the local government issued to archers going on patrol or criminal-catching constables. Their caster may have been the Henan Prefectural Government of the late Yuan Dynasty.
