One of the gravestones results to be one of the <i>kayraks </i>found in Semirechye in about 1886, already known to D. Chwolson, who published its epitaph in 1897. For the second <i>kayrak </i>a new reading is suggested, different from Massons's; besides, the place of origin of the gravestone is recognized as Almaliq. In the appendix all kayraks found in Almaliq are presented, and their artistic and linguistic peculiar features are commented upon.
