Until the last word but one, there is no difference between us as to the divi- 
sion or interpretation of the words, except, indeed, as to the precise meaning of 
the compound epithet of éaiyustu, ‘‘ provinces ;” but Westergaard takes sagqurrar 
as one word, the genitive of sa, ‘ this,” whereas I divide the word into two ; 
making sikku the genitive hujus, from a nominative si, and taking rdvra as an 
adverb in the superlative degree “ most,” forming the superlative of the adjective 
to which it is prefixed. Thus I take rdrra ersa to be equivalent to ersérra. 1
