1 The division-wedge is written at the beginning of 1. 34, not at the end of 1. 35. went Artavardiya with the army unto Persia. When he came to Persia, at a city in Persia named Rakha that Vahyazdata, who called himself Smerclis, advanced with the army against Artavardiya to give him battle. They then fought the battle. Auramazda brought me help. By the grace of Auramazda my host utterly overthrew the army of Vahyazdata. On the twelfth day of the month Thuravahara was the battle fought by them. 34. yatha Parsam pararasa Rakha nama vardanam Parsaiy a- 35. vada hauv Vahyazdata hya Bardiya agaubata aisa 36. hada kara patis Artavardiyam hamaranam cartanaiy pas- 37. ava hamaranam akunava Auramazdamaiy upastam abara va38. sna Auramazdaha kara hya mana avam karam tyam Vahya- 39. zdatahya aja vasiy Thuravaharahya mahya xn raucabis thaka
