"I wonder if any inscriptions were in Tocharian."

Tocharian may have been 'gone' even by then.

In answer to ZULU's question, I dunno. I'm not going to reply per se, because this graphic is a bit large and may inconvenience Z. Anyway, for those wondering what is Tocharian, this shows the extinct language branch (there was Tocharian A and Tocharian B).

thanks to Cronos for this cool graphic:
