Art. XXI.—Note on the Van Inscriptions

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  15 March 2011

Extract

Since the commencement of Cuneiform studies in Europe attentionhas been paid to Armenian or Yannic inscriptions; and, as is well known, it was the unfortunate Schulz who first copied and collected the inscriptions of Yan. These copies, full of faults, were those on which scholars commenced their Yannic studies. After Mordtmann, Robert, and F. Lenormant, Professor Sayce deciphered and published, as far as possible, bis own and his predecessor's researches.

page 582 note 3 We find in the inscription of Melasgert, as Professor Scheil has shown, Dhu-uš-pa-a pa-a dup-ri instead of Dhušpa , which is a special form for this name of a town; therefore we can read by re-uniting them, padupri, or better paumri.
