English:

Koshelenko, Gennadij A. "Genealogy of the first Arsacids (once again about Nisa ostracon no. 1760)"
In: Gafurov, B. G. & Litvinsky, B. A. (eds.), "History and culture of the peoples of the Middle Asia (ancient and medieval times)", Moscow: Nauka, 1976, p. 31-37.

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] uses this article as basis to accept Koshelenko's theory of descent of the Arsacids.
