XPm

Achaemenid Royal Inscriptions: collection of Old Persian cuneiform texts from the sixth, fifth, and fourth centuries BCE, left by the Achaemenid kings on their official monuments.

XPm, inscription on column bases from Persepolis

This inscription can be read on many fragments from the Palace of Xerxes and the Queen's Quarters, and it is difficult to find out if they belong to XPm or represent the identical last line of XPj. It is written in Old Persian, Elamite, and Babylonian.

  1. thâtiy \ Xšayâršâ \ XŠ \ imam \ taçaram \ adam \ akunavam
