The author has given the results of a series of investigations which he has made in regard to early Iranian history: The first article (1) dis- cusses the names of the Magi, or Wise Men, who came to worship the Infant Jesus. The second (2) examines the route taken by Alexander on his march from Persepolis to Herat. A study (3) is made to locate the position of the mountain region designated by the Greeks as ΤΤαραχοάθροκ, which the author locates north of Khvar; while Para-uparisaina, or TTa- ροπανκάδαι is the name of the valley-region of Gandhara, south of the Uparisaina mountains. A discussion is given (4) of Scytho-Iranian folk- names; (5) of some Cappadocian inscriptions; and (6) of the Chronology of Cambyses and of the Pseudo-kings, as well as the Ancient Iranian calendar. 8.

11. Regnaad P. Note sur les Dafrvas et les Titans dans la mythologie indo-europ6enne. RL. 38, 151. The author claims that the Avestan Da^vas, like the Greek Titans, are degraded gods. 12. Tiele C. P. The Religion of the Iranian Peoples. Translated from the German by G. K. Nariman. Ind. Antiq. 34, 11—18 u. 60—66. 13. Wilhelm Ε. Die Parther. Avesta, Pahlavi, and Ancient Persian Studies 1, 83—96. The name Parthava appears to be a patronymic from a name Parthu, cognate withSktprthu, and its comparatively wide dissemination in different parts of Iran (judging from various forms in which it is found) seems to indicate that divisions of this stock of people were somewhat broadly spread throughout Persia. Any precise limits for the land are difficult to assign. It is not improbable that Arsakes was a Turanian, as were also his allies, the Parnians. As to the Pahlavi language, there is nothing in the references made by Persian writers that shows it was anything else than an Iranian tongue. 2. Avesta, Zoroaster und Verwandtes. 14.

21. Bnlsara S. J. A possible Mazdean Source of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics. Zartoshti (Bombay) 2, 105—111. Certain parallels in thought between the Zoroastrian formula A s h e m Vohu and Aristotle's Ethics, might lead to the surmise that the Greek philosopher was influenced by the wisdom of the East. 22.

F. Avesta vdnma. Avesta, Pahlavi, and Ancient Persian Studies 1, 199—200. In Yasna 10, 14 the reading should be värema caire, 'go to my heart (i. e. stomach)', the form vänm-a coming from vara- 'heart, stomach', with postpositional a. 26. — Avesta literature (translated from the German by D. Mackichan). Avesta, Pahlavi, and Ancient Persian Studies 1, 1—82. A translation of Geldner's monograph on the subject in Geiger and Kuhn's Grundriß der iranischen Philologie. 27. — Vendidad 18. Avesta, Pahlavi, and Ancient Persian Studies 1, 201—212. A translation of this section into German with brief notes. 28. Gray L. H. Medieval Greek references to the Avestan calendar. Avesta, Pahlavi, and Ancient Persian Studies 1, 167—175. Draws attention to three medieval Greek references in Byzantine authors that allude to the calendar of the Persians, and translates the passages in full. The first is from Chrysokokkes, who wrote in the year 1346; the second is from Argyros, a quarter of a century later; the third is from an anonymous author who wrote in 1443 and gives equivalents for days of the year 812 of Yezdagard in terms of the Byzantine year 6951, which corresponds to 1443 A. D. 29. Hodivala S. Fravardigan days. Bombay 1905. 44 S. 8<>. A discussion of the mooted question among the modern Parsis in regard to the number of days of the Farvadin festival. The writer con- cludes that according to the religion itself only five days were celebrated, although the prevailing custom in Persia sanctions ten, while the Zo- roastrians in India observe either sixteen or eighteen days. 30. Hüsing G. Der Name "Zaraf)uStra\ 0LZ. 8, 112—115.

If so, the name would imply 'possessing the (proper) shrub for the libation' — 'der im Besitze der (richtigen) Staude für den Opfertrank ist'. Vgl. auch DLZ. 1905, 917. 31. Jackson Α. V. W. The Magi in Marco Polo and the cities in Persia from which they came to worship the Infant Christ. JAOS. 26, 79—83. Marco Polo's 'Cala Ataperistan' (castle of the Fire-worshippers) may possibly have been located at Kashan. 32. — Khshathra Vairya, one of the Zoroastrian archangels. Avesta, Pahlavi, and Ancient Persian Studies 1, 159—166. A study of all the passages relating to this archangel in the Avesta and the Pahlavi literature leads to the conclusion that Khshathra Vairya represents (1) in a spiritual sense the dominion which puts an end to evil and brings ideal rule, 'the Wished-for Kingdom, the Good Kingdom, the Kingdom of Desire', and, (2) in a material sense Khshathra Vairya is represented as presiding over the kingdom of metals and minerals, which stand as a sign or symbol of power. 33. — Avestan zvmityang aurvato, Ys. 50, 7. Avesta, Pahlavi, and Ancient Persian Studies 1, 178-181. The Gathic words zaviStying aurvatö are translated 'favorite steeds". 34. — Bokhara the Noble. The Outlook 79, 319—326. Describes a visit which the writer made to old Bokhara in hopes of finding traces of Zoroastrian lore. 35. Justi F. The life and legend of Zarathushtra. Avesta, Pahlavi, and Ancient Persian Studies 1, 117—158. This monograph is largely a review of Jackson's Zoroaster the Prophet of Ancient Iran, and points out how much is legendary in the reports regarding the life of the prophet, whose date he is inclined, with Jackson, to place somewhere between the seventh and the sixth century B. C. The scene of Z.'s activity was Media rather than Bactria. The bas-relief sculpture at Täk-i Bostan, which Parsi tradition supposes to be a representation of Zoroaster, is an image of the sun-god Mithra by the side of Ardashir I, who receives the circle of sovereignty from the god Ormazd. 36.

Avesta, Pahlavi, and Ancient Persian Studies 1, 213—214. The Kambojas of Yaska, as shown by the Räjataraijgiijl, 4.165 seq., were located northwest of India, and according to an allusion in the Pali

The latter allusion shows them to have been followers of the Zoroastrian religion. 40. Koka Μ. The stars mentioned in the Avesta. Zartoshti (Bombay) 2, 7—22.. The four stars, Tishtrya, Sutavaesa, Vanant, and Haptovringa, mentioned by name in the Avesta are discussed. The suggestion is then made that several other names in the Avesta may be interpreted as referring to constellations or single stars, as, Apam Napat, Anaghra Raochao (Aurora Borealis), Merezu (Milky Way), Kara Masya (Pisces), Ashenacha Yevino (asterisms of Ashvani and Bharani in Aries), Khara (Ass, a constellation in Cancer or in Orion), Vasi (Cetus), Payu and Thworeshtara (Gemini). 41.

He objects to Bartholomae's and Geiger's translation 'Gewerbe, Betrieb'. He compares here Skt. aätd-s 'Wagenlenker', and translates hüitii 'Antreibung, Vieh-, Ackerknecht'. 44. Mills L. H.

From various sources, especially the Kissah-i Sanjan, the early history of the Parsis is traced from the time of their leaving Persia, after the Arab conquest, down to the time when they became established in India. Some important events as late as the eighteenth century are discussed in connection with the spread of the Zoroastrians in Hindustan, and a map is added together with autotype reproductions of various historic documents. 50. — A few events in the early history of the Parsis and their dates.

The Avesta does not teach dualism; the attribute sp»nta mainyu denotes the good and bountiful spirit of God as well as the holy or bountiful spirit which Ahura-Mazda implants in man's heart. Sin came into the world, not through the first man Gaya Maretan (Gayö-mard), but later through a man who disregarded righteousness and chose evil. Zara- thushtrianism has no fatalism in its teaching; nor does it preach fire- worship. 58. — Ahura-Mazda in the Avesta. Expository Times 16, 183—184. Summary of the preceding paper. 59. Shaharyar K.
