Urkunden der Perserzeit, reprinted from the Orientalische Studien (under
the editorship of Bezold), dedicated to Noldeke on the occasion of his
7()th birthday.

Lidzbarski discusses the Aramaic papyri and ostraca of the Persian
period from Egypt, and publishes two new ostraca from the Berlin collec-
tion : a third ostracou is of special importance as containing the name
Theodoros and thus belonging to the Hellenistic period. Ephem.f. Sem.

Gadamnieh.
