A careful scrutiny of the Old Persian forms, preparatory to an edition of the texts with lexicon and grammar, has shown that there still remain a number of forms which are susceptible, in my opinion, to an improved interpretation. The present article is an attempt to demonstrate these improved interpretations more fully than would be possible in my projected grammar. Any views which I have previously expressed, that are not in accordance with those set forth here, are ipso facto discarded. In referring to the specific inscriptions I shall use the following system: DB = Darius, Behistan DP = Darius, Persepolis DN = Darius, Nakg-i-Rustam DS = Darius, Susa XP = Xerxes, Persepolis XV = Xerxes, Van A?P = Artaxerxes II or III, Persepolis AmH = Ariaramnes, Hamadan
