Note: For the sake of consistency with most of the current scholarship, abbreviations of Greek and Roman writer’s names as they occur both in the text and in the footnotes follow the conventions established by the Oxford Classical Dictionary (4th ed., 2012) and the Neue Pauly, Band 3, XXXVI–XLIV. As for the Persepolis tablets, the following abbreviations are used throughout the text: PT refers to the 1948 edition by Cameron of the Persepolis Treasury Tablets. PF hints at the first comprehensive publication by Richard T. Hallock (1969). Fort. (followed by 4 digits) refers to the Persepolis Fortification tablet in the National Museum of Īrān edited by G.G. Cameron, collated by Hallock, Jones, and Stolper, collated and published by Abdulmaǧid Arfa‘ī (2008), which have now been re-collated by Wouter F.M. Henkelman. As for yet un- or only partially published texts, Fort. (followed by 7 digits) denotes unpublished PFT edited by Stolper, while NN refers to the unpublished PFT edited by Hallock, collated, and currently being prepared by Henkelman for publication. Whenever a text from one of those is mentioned, reference is also made to the publication in which it occurs, where the translation is also taken unless otherwise specified.
