The present volume contains a translation of the Sirozahs and Yai'ts, and of the Nyayij-. This part of the Avesta treats chiefly of the mythical and legendary lore of Zoroastrianism.

The source text as printed, transcribed diplomatically. Where the source language uses a non-Latin script that reaches us only through a Victorian romanisation, this layer is labelled transliteration, because that is what we hold.
