^{page 261 note 1} I have not seen any other translation of this interesting inscription.

^{page 261 note 2} See, for instance, line 105 of the Behistun inscription, where Darius says: “ Mannu atta, sar, sha billa arki-ya.” Whoever thou art, O kiny, who shalt reign after me!and then he goes on to give him advice.

^{page 264 note 1} The king here apparently speaks again to his successor.

^{page 264 note 2} There is one more line, which has become illegible.

^{page 265 note 1} I may remind the reader that the edition of Gesenius's Hebrew Lexicon referred to is the Latin edition, Leipsic, 1833.
