As written monuments testify, Tajik jurisprudence enjoys ancient history. One of its originals is “Metakdan I Hazar Datastan” which is known in Russian Orientalistics under the tittle “Sasanidian Criminal Record. The Book of thousand Court Resolutions”. The book in question is devoted to family law, it consists of 54 chapters and is translated into Russian, English, German and Hindi. It contains major legal terms of the Sasanidian epoch related to family, society, criminal-procedural institutes of that time. Diachronic study of the basic stock of words constituting the monument promotes a solution of many exceptional cases of Tajik-Persian historical juridical linguistics.
