Description
Corpus Inscriptionum Iranicarum, part II: Inscriptions of the Seleucid and Parthian Periods and of Eastern Iran and Central Asia, vol. II: Parthian, Parthian Economic Documents from Nisa (Texts I pp. 161-215). By I. M. DIAKONOFF and V. A. LIVSHITS, edited by D. N. MACKENZIE, A. N. BADER and N. SIMS-WILLIAMS. London: SCHOOL OF ORIENTAL AND AFRICAN STUDIES, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON, 2001. This is the third and last fascicle of the edition of the Nisa documents and now makes the whole of the material accessible. It comprises the readings and translations of the ostraca nos. 2324 to 2723 of Old Nisa and some (nos. H-1 to H-VI) from New Nisa (pp. 161-82), a glossary (pp. 184-208), a reverse index (pp. 209-12), and a detailed list of contents of the whole edition (pp. 213-15), which is very helpful, as the arrangement of the ostraca follows an elaborate system of economic specifications. The book is--as is known from other publications of the Corpus--well printed, and misprints or typographical errors seem not to exist. Only a few ostraca have been published outside the Corpus, viz. Morano 1996 and Livshits 2003, though, in the latter article, an ostracon was re-edited (without any reference) that had already been published in Livshits/Nikitin 1994.
