i Gustahm, the son of Nodar ; see Yt. V, 76. Strangely enough, Tusa is not mentioned here, unless he is the same with one of the preceding names : possibly the words the son of Naotara' (Naotairyâna) refer to all the four.
2 Possibly Frashîdvardsgade (misspelt from a Pahlavi form Frasânvard fotorente (?); the Yâdkár-î Zarîrân, as Mr.West informs me, has poderes tes and wgperetes). Frashîdvard was a son of Gustâsp: he was killed by one of Argâsp's heroes and avenged by his brother Isfendyâr (Speñtô-data). The following names would belong to his brothers : most of them contain the word Ātar, in honour of the newly-adopted worship of fire.
