1 \HI.AVI I'UNERARY INSCRIPTIOI'; (KAZER UN 111)1

FRO~f

(Taf.ll,l)

In (he summer of 1994 in the cOurse of plough­ing a field near It village called Mashtan I km 10 the south of Kiizc:run. a large semi-cylindrical stone was unearthed, which seems to have been the lid of a 10sI Zoroastrian OSSUlI.q,2 (Taf. 18.1 j

t\bb. I). It is simil:lr IQ another lid discovered in 1988 in the: vicinity of the Parishan river), nOI far from the same locality. In recent years a number of Sasanian and Arabo-Sasanian coins have been unearthed in the area, and future ar­chaeological excavations in ils small hills arc likely !O result in interesting discoveries. The stone lid in gucstion in its present stale: measu­res 87 cm in length and 7 cm in thickness. Its original width may be cstimated to have been 68 cm. At its bottom there is a semi-circular knob (10 x Il cm), which apparently served as a handle for lifting the lid. Plausibly it had a counterpart of identical shape on its upper pan,

now l.ost. The longest survi\'ing line of the in. SCrlptlon, the lut one, rnasures II <m r ~ . d' h . .....,n~l·

erlng t e remaining 5p~ce, it is rasonable 10

as~u~e Ihat each line of the inscription in Its anginal stale was about 1) cm long.

Regretfull~' Ihe upper p~rt and the lefl side of the stone cont~ining puts of the inscription are broken and 10sl. An examination of the brak proves Ihat the dam~ge is b), no mans recent and therefore there is no hope of finding Ihe missing pam. The sediment on its concne sur­face indicates Ih3t the lid was used for yars as a cistern called Jut in the 10C1I1 dialect. The stone lid is now preserved in the collection of inscriptions belonging to the Office of the Pious Foundations of Kazeron.

The P"hl"vi inscription IS in cursive scnpt, beautifully engraved by 3 skilled engrner. II seems to have had originall)' len lines, Ihe firsl

two lines being lost.
