1a) Persian material
The inscriptions of the Achaemenid (Persian) kings are labeled as follows (only those abbreviations which appear in this encyclopedia are listed):
first letter (upper‐case) indicates the name of the king
A Artaxerxes I; As Arsames; C Cyrus (II); D Darius I; X Xerxes
second letter (upper‐case) indicates the place of discovery
B Bisitun (for Darius I); H Hamadan; M Pasargadae; N Naqsh‐i Rustam; P Persepolis; S Susa
third letter (lower‐case, if needed): used to designate different inscriptions from the same site.
These designations may be followed by a section number (§1 etc.). Thus XPh §26 = Inscription h of Xerxes at Persepolis, section 26. See Pierre Lecoq, Les inscriptions de la Perse achéménide ([Paris]: Gallimard, 1997), p. 11 for a full list. The Old Persian versions of the Achaemenid inscriptions, with English translations, can be found in Roland G. Kent, Old Persian: Grammar, Texts, Lexicon, 2nd edition (New Haven: American Oriental Society, 1953), and in Amélie Kuhrt, The Persian Empire. A Corpus of Sources from the Achaemenid Period (London and New York: Routledge, 2007). See also the entry on BISITUN in this encyclopedia, by Matt Waters.
