Extract

General A. Houtumschindler has been kind enough to send me a photograph of a new Vannic inscription discovered by Count Kanitz, an attaché of the German Legation at Teheran, in October, 1910, at a place called Mākū. The stone, however, had been brought from some ruins 10 miles south-west of Mākū. The photograph was given to General Houtumschindler by the discoverer. The inscription, it will be seen, belongs to Ruśas II. In continuance of my previous notation its number will be XCII.

1 Suli-manu in lxxix, 15, is replaced by UD-manu in lxxviii, Rev. 7, which fixes the meaning of suli-s as “day”. Since -li is a suffix the root would be su. Kurni gunei suli-manu would be “offerers of the daily sacrifice in front of the day”, i.e. “in the open air”; eśi guni quldide sulimanu, “the place of the daily sacrifice on the altar in the open air.”
