256 Rev. Epwarp Hincxs on the third Persepolitan Writing, Sc. 
In the next three words some letters are deficient; but I have restored them 
within brackets in a manner that appears to me certain. Parts of the characters 
remain. 
20, 7, 19, 68 [85], 19, 36, *U.ba.r.as.ba.ya. 
[20, 35], 19, 62, * Ya.ba.nu. 
20, 1 [70, 12], 19 [43], 36, * A .re.be.wa.(i.e.bi).te.ya.(i.e.fi). 
In the inscription on the portal, D, line 11, the Persian word wisadahyush 
is transcribed as follows, the termination being altered a little : 
6, 36, 87, 53, 1, 36, 27, 83, 28, we.ya.(i.e.wi).sa.da.w’.ya.y.se.y’. 
The following are numbered as in the enumeration of lapidary characters. 
172: 26; 76,163; Ba.b’.be.le. 
183, 287, 94, 160, Ba.bil.le. See “ Nasats” above. 
The name of Nebuchadnezzar is written in the following manners, among 
others : 
287, 40, 113, 120, 73, 46, 205, 239, N’nebe.g’.ge.w.re.w.cha.r’. 
287, 140, 225, 143, 263, 46, 205, 209, N’.ne.be.ge.bare.w’.cha.r’. 
287, 40, 263, 46, 205, 239, N’ nebe.ge.bare.w’. cha.r. 
The correct pronunciation of the name appears to be Nebekilichar. On the 
bricks there is a peculiar character, which I have called 296, used for the final 
syllable. Sometimes, also, a d, 260, is introduced into the word.
