Untersuchungen zur Geschichte von Eran. Zweites Heft (Schluß). Philologus, Supplementband 10, Heftl. Leipzig, Dietrich 1905. VIII, 258 S. 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.

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.
