Novus

Novus (sagona, maqbara). Yak qator nav damkhae, ki ahli zardushtiya az gil, khisht yo sang sokhta, ustadonro dar on nigoh medoshtand. Muvofiqi talimoti zardushtiya mayitro ba zamin dafn kardan, ba ob partoftan, suzonida man bud.    Jasadro ba rui sangreza va yo peg guzoshta, gushti onro ba darrandagon mekhurondand va ustukhonashro ba us­tadon yo khumu khumchaho andokhta ba Novus meguzoshtand. Novus ba okhuri daroz monand buda, barash 1,5 m meomadu az chor taraf devori past dosht, boloyash gumbazpush bud. Novusho dar atrofi Kho­rezm, Samarqand va ziyoda az 50-toash dar Panjakenti Qadim yoft shud.
