name is given Nihcavan, but it should be NIHCavan (Niheh- 



avan), because he reads the monogram NIHC (Nihch). The 

 correction can be made without hesitation as typographical 

 mistakes are far from uncommon in the paper. 



The monogram NIHQh occurs on coins of Khnsrau I of the 

 years 14, 28, 32, 34 and continues regularly till the end of the 

 reign of this king. Then it appears daring the reign of Hormazd 

 IV, years 10 and 11 , and from 590 a.c. in the reign of Khusrau 

 II it shows itself almost every year till his death in 628 a.c, 

 and again from 629 to 632. It reappears under Yezdegerd III 

 in 634 and 638.
