WE NOW have Volume xxiv of the Ministere de l'Instruction Publique et des Beaux-Arts, Memoires de la Mission Archeologique de Perse, Mission en Susiane (Paris: Leroux, 1933), in which V. Scheil presents a collection of Accadian legal documents (Actes juridiques susiens) continuing those in volumes xxii and xxiii, and in the second part a series of Achaemenian inscriptions (Inscriptions des Achen'ienides) continuing those presented in Vol. xxi. It is these Achaemenian documents that I propose to treat. The new fragments comprise 5 Old Persian, 2 Elamite, 3 Accadian fragments of the Record of Darids's Palace at Susa, Scheil's No. 1 of Vol. xxi; 6 Old Persian fragments and 1 almost complete Accadian version of Scheil's No. 15 of Vol. xxi; and 2 new Old Persian copies, 2 new Accadian copies, and 1 new Elamite copy of his No. 28, an inscription of Artaxerxes II. I propose to take these up in order, as they bring important corrections or additions to the text of these three inscriptions as previously known.
