Both are engraved on stone and in Indic script. Although both are composed largely of vocabulary borrowed from the Sanskrit language, presence of some specifically Malay words or forms makes it possible to classify them as being formulated in Old Malay. The first text, whose Śaka date is precisely convertible to 29 June 1350 CE, is engraved on a tombstone recovered from a graveyard in Barus, and may well mark the death of a Muslim. If this hypothesis is correct, it will make this epitaph the earliest Islamic inscription in Indic script from Sumatra. The second text comes from a Buddhist cultural context in the very northern extremity of what is today West Sumatra province, and has the particularity of being composed in Sanskrit verse form. Cette contribution présente deux inscriptions du XIVe siècle originaires du nord-ouest de Sumatra. Toutes deux sont gravées sur pierre dans une écriture de type indien. Bien que composées largement dans un vocabulaire emprunté à la langue sanskrite, la présence de certains mots ou formes spécifiquement malais permet de classer ces deux textes comme étant rédigés en vieux malais. Le premier, dont la date Śaka est convertible avec précision du 29 juin 1350 de notre ère, est inscrit sur une pierre tombale trouvée dans un cimetière de Barus et pourrait bien marquer le décès d’un musulman. Si cette hypothèse peut être confirmée, cette épitaphe serait la plus ancienne inscription islamique de Sumatra en écriture de type indien. Le second texte relève d’un contexte culturel bouddhique dans l’extrémité nord de l’actuelle province de Sumatra Ouest, et présente la particularité d’être rédigé en vers de la tradition sanskrite.
