| Yerevan: Amaras, 1998 | ||
| Abstract: This book on the Queens of the Armenian royal court is a continuation of the author’s previous work, Royalty: 141 Armenian Kings. The queens of Armenia are defined as wives of sovereigns of Armenian state formations, and for that purpose nationality is not a decisive factor. Among the 150 queens described in this book, 103 are Armenian, one is Assyrian, eight are Parthian, six are Persian, two are Alan, nine are Greek, six are Roman, four are Georgian, ten are French, and one is Mongol. | ||

| Abstract: Includes coin with diademed Parthian style head right within wreath / "Mithradates King of Tosp(?)." Khurshudian records four examples of similar coins, all with left facing heads.

| Abstract: Photograph shows a four-handled bronze Parthian coffin excavated near the city of Khorramabad in Lorestan Province. The 180cm-long four-handled coffin resembles a bathtub, and was found to contain a unique skeleton with a gold blindfold covering its eye sockets and a gold gag over its mouth. Conservators are optimistic that an inscription may be concealed beneath sulphurous corrosion staining the coffin’s surface. | ||

| Abstract: Several modern struck forgeries of 2nd century BC wreathed tetradrachms of Myrina are identified, ranging in date from the 17th to the 20th centuries. Some appear to have been produced by a workshop operating in Baghdad ca. 1900, which is also shown to have been responsible for a series of Seleucid, Parthian and other counterfeits. Among the 'Baghdad' forgeries which have previously been accepted as genuine are two varieties of tetradrachms of Tigranes the Great. (P. Z.

| Abstract:
Foreword by James M. Robinson. See especially section X "Verses from the Parthian Hymn Cycles" (pp. 99-122), and section XV "An Index of Parthian Hymns" (pp. 169-176) In this work, Klimkeit (history of religion, Univ. of Bonn) makes available for the first time in English a little-known corpus of texts that are extremely important for the study of Manicheanism, a serious rival to early Christianity. Klimkeit, who is German, translates the original mainly Persian, Parthian, Sogdian, and Turkish documents into good English. An introductory chapter sets forth the theological and historical milieu of these "Turfan texts," which are incomplete to fragmentary. Brief introductory comments precede each text, with generous notes following. This work will appeal to those studying Manicheanism and the Gnostic religions who are not comfortable with the original languages or who want an easily accessible compendium. [Library Journal] | ||

| A Hoard of Coins from Eastern Parthia (1990) | ||
| In: Numismatic Notes and Monographs, No. 165 | ||
| New York: American Numismatic Society, 1990, x+64 p. | ||
| Abstract:
The hoard at the Getty Museum includes 266 copper coins, mostly "drachm" weights, ca A.D. 1-200, found in present-day Iran and clearly most of them must come from the northeastern part of the Parthian kingdom. All are of the Parthian type with the exception of 19 coins from Elymais. There are no certain dates in the find, but the sequencing of the coins and matches to similar known types allows new chronologies for both the Elymean kings and for eastern Parthia rulers who struck coins at Aria, Margiana, Abarshahr and Traxiana. The author concludes that there was a region enjoying a different status from both the Indo-Parthians to the east and the Parthians to the west in late 2nd century A.D. She also finds the coins should not be assigned to Sakastan; they represent a separate, more or less independent administrative area with kings probably related to a family centered in Aria.

| Abstract:
Revised version of author's PhD thesis at the Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe University Frankfurt a.M., 2003. The aim of the present work is to contribute to the knowledge of Balochi historical grammar. The main part of the book is a new discussion of the historical phonology of Balochi, the only comprehensive treatment of which existing so far dates from the end of the 19th century. Meanwhile, new material from a wide range of Balochi dialects and varieties has come to light. This makes it possible to distinguish between sound changes affecting the Balochi language as a whole and those that operate only in some variety; the approach to do so systematically is attempted here for the first time. Reassessing previous treatments and comparing important related languages (chiefly New Persian, Parthian and Avestan), the book analyses the development of Old Iranian sounds to the stage of Common Balochi and the changes leading from that stage to the variants spoken today in Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan and some other countries. The results indicate contact with other languages, specifically with Persian, as several Balochi sound changes are not such as we might expect in a North Western Iranian language. Concerning other sound changes, Balochi differs from all attested Middle Iranian languages. The predecessor of contemporary Balochi seems to have been a dialect rather similar to Parthian, but differing from it in a number of details. So the study of Balochi sound changes provides evidence for Middle Iranian dialectal variation. The diversity and intensity of contacts with neighbouring languages is also reflected in the Balochi lexicon of which selected fields are presented and discussed. The layers of loanwords show a continuing influence of Persian from the earliest times to the present day, relationships to Kurdish, Pashto and Brahui, and, particularly in the field of kinship terminology, intense contact with speakers of Modern Indic languages. The book is complemented by a morphological appendix and a comprehensive etymological index. It is intended as a contribution in the fields of New Iranian languages and historical Iranian linguistics. [Author] The Conclusion section is interesting for students of Parthian. The rest of the book is not focussed on Parthian, but author quotes the Parthian equivalent (where attested) for every Balochi word quoted, and Parthian figures rather prominently in the etymological and other indexes. | ||

| Abstract: Résumé in English. Koshelenko proposes an order for the first five Parthian kings. Certain problems is the rise and early history of the Arsacid kingdom can be solved only by combining numismatic information and other sources. A detailed study is made of points supporting early and later dating for early Arsacid coins with obv.: beardless head in soft helmet; the earlier dating is preferred. Coins with legends ARSAKOU, BASILEWS ARSAKOU and BASILEWS QEOU ARSAKOU are attributed to Arsaces I; coins with the legend BASILEWS MEGALOU ARSAKOU, bow between P and S and reverse monogram, or the legend BASILEWS MEGALOU ARSAKOU QEOPATOROS are attributed to Arsaces II and the remaining coins, with the legend BASILEWS MEGALOU ARSAKOU, to Phriapatius and Phraates I.

| Abstract:
Koshelenko proposes a new theory of descent based on the ostraca of Nisa, reconciles both Justin (Trogus) and Arrian (and Syncellus) accounts. Frye [1984, 209] bases his acceptance of Koshelenko's theory of descent of the Arsacids on this article. Italian translation published in Mesopotamia 17 (1982), pp. 133-146. English translation published on Parthia.com (2008). "The article contains an analysis of the data on the genealogy of the first Arsacids from the ostrakon No. 1760 of the Nisian Archive. On comparing these data with those from the written sources (Justin and Arrian), the author is able to modify the genealogy established by his predecessors. A comparison of the data from early Parthian history from works of Arrian and Justin enables the author to eleucidate a number of trends which existed in the official ideology of Parthia and substantiated the right of descendants of Tiridates to the Parthian throne."
