1 The.list ofthe #0 Martyrs in the said Persian. MS. contains, almost_in, the same. order from 
the beginning, 33 names of the Turkish version of St. Petersburg with an addition of 7 title- 
names belonging to some of these 33, which some of the copyists have taken for proper names. 
The last of these 40 in the Persian MS. is lUei Je LE « the Prince of #0 Martyrs » which we 
have taken in our list for a title of the 332 Martyr Cyr JD (the Persian MS, makes him the 
39 in number and calls him {5 sie _ OL J) and spelled, following Dr. Dorn's version, ol
