² ^2 This valuable find of the tablets by Winckler (who died April 19, 1913) was first reported in his *Vorläufige Nachrichten über die Ausgrabungen in Boghaz-köi im Sommer 1907*, in *Mittheilungen der deutschen Orientgesellschaft*, No. 35 (1908). The importance of the discovery was at once recognised by scholars and has since received wide attention; compare, for example, Eduard Meyer, *Zt. für vergleichende Sprachforschung*, *Neue Folge* (1908), xlii, 1–27; idem, *Sitzb. d. kgl. preuss. Akad. d. Wiss.*, 1908, pp. 14–19; also H. G. Jacobi, *J.R.A.S.*, 1909, pp. 721–726; H. Oldenburg, *ibid.* pp. 1095–1100; A. B. Keith, *ibid.* pp. 1100–1106; A. H. Sayce, *ibid.* pp. 1106–1107; J. Kennedy, *ibid.* pp. 1107–1119; H. G. Jacobi, *ibid.* 1910, pp. 456–464; A. B. Keith, *ibid.* pp. 464–466; H. Oldenburg, *ibid.* pp. 846–850; see also M. Winternitz, *Globus* (1909), XCV, 126; Macdonell and Keith, *Vedic Index*, I, p. viii; and most recently J. H. Moulton, *Early Zoroastrianism*, pp. 5–7, 45, 139, 235; Eduard Meyer, *Geschichte des Altertums*, 3rd ed., vol. I, pt 2, §§ 455, 585, 590.
