Seven a " In a of Xerxes' army garrison east of the Great Pulses Terrace at the "Versailles" of ancient Persia, now being unearthed and restored by the Oriental Institute. Three of the tablets bear inscriptions new to historians, listing for the first time the provinces Xerxes ruled, and more Important, relating Xerxes' sui rem In putting down enemies of the rellidon of Zoroaster after an uprising, hitherto unknown, which occurred In the .early days of Xerxes' reign. Announcement of the find Is made by Dr. John A. Wilson, acting director of the Oriental Institute snd successor of the lste Dr. Tames II. Breasted. Dr. Krlrh F. Schmidt, field director of the Iranian expedition, reported the discovery. Written In runelform chsracters In the Klamlte, Bahy Ionian and Old Per-ulalanguages, the tablets apparently were made for use as "cornerstone" foundation deposits. As translated by IW. Ernst Herzfeld the three "new" tablets read as follows: Translation of Tablet!.' 1. A great god Is Ahnrsraasda who crested the earth here, who created the heaven yonier, who ereated mankind, who ereated peace for men, who made Xeuces king, one king of a multitude, tine lawgiver of a multitude. : 2, t, Xerxes, the great king, the kjhg of kings, tl.e king of the lands tf many tribes, the klpg on this wide, earth, the son of Darius the king, the Arhiieuienld. a Persian Hon of a Persian, an Aryan of Aryan lineage. S. Sayeth Xerxes the king: By the will or Ahnrausxda, these are the lands beside Pars over which I was king; I ruled them; they brought me tribute; what was ordered them by me they did; my law held them; Media, Elam. Arachosla, Zranga, Par-thlArela, Bactria, Sogdla, Chor-aamlBabylonia, Assyrls, the Sardls. Egypt, the lonlans thst dwell In the Sea and those that dwell beyond the Sea, Gedroala, 8yrls, Gsn-darthe Indus-land- , Cappadoda, the Iahae, the Amyrgian Sacae, the Sacae, the Macedonians, the Akaufaclya, the Punt, the Carlans, the Kush. 4. Sayeth Xerxes the king: When I became king, there were among those lands, which .are written above, some who rebelled ; then, Aburamssds helped we ; by Ahuramasda's will, such a land I defeated, snd to their plica I restored them; snd among those lands were such where, before, the Dalvas were worshipped; then, by Ahnramas-da'- a will, of such temples of the Dalvas I tapped the foundations, and I ordained "the Dalvas shall not be worshipped !" Worshipped Ahuramasda. Where the Dalvas had 'been worshipped, there I worshipped Ahuramaxda together with 'Rtam the exalted. And .there were other, things which were done wrongfully, such I righted. This what I did, I did It all by the will of Ahursmaxda. Ahuramaxda helped me, until I bad performed the work. Thou who art of an after age. If thou thlnkest, "I wish to be hsppy In life, and In "death I wish to belong to 'Rtam," abide In those lsws which Ahursmssda has established and worship Ahuramaxda together vlth 'Rtam the exalted I The man that abides In the laws which Ahuramaxda has established and worships Ahuramaxda to gether with 'Rtam the exalted, that one win be happy In life and will. In death, belong to Tttam. 5. Sayeth Xerxes the king: Ahuramaxda shall guard me from the evil of my house snd this land! It is for this that I implore Ahursmaxda, it is .this that Ahuramaxda shall grant me! Xerxes' empire, the greatest the world had seen up to that time, extended northeast to the region northeast, of modern Afghanlstsn, southwest through, ancient Kush to the borders of modern Ethiopia, southeast to the Indus river In northwestern India, and northwest through most of Asia Minor. In the new Inscriptions Xerxes claims, on the west, "the lonlans that dwell In the sea and those thst dwell beyond the sea." This Indicates that the tablets were Inscribed during the five yesrs between Xerxes' accession in 4S5 B. C, and the battle of Salamls. when the Persian attack 4S0 B. on Greece ended In dismal failure. room SUBSCRIPTION Salt Ul;e City.
