Nothing is said about VII, 6-9, 17-22 (which passages are merely a repetition of V, 27-30, 57-62), but this omission may be owing to the fact that these passages are so abbreviated in the MSS. as to be easily overlooked, especially by a reader of the Pahlavi version only. 2 Vend. VII, 23-26. * Pahl. tanand va-m4k (=még), evidently equivalent to the Av. sin6 madhakhayauska of Vend. VII, 26, which are rendered by tQn még6-& in the Pahlavi version. The identity of Av. madhakha with Pahl. madag, or még, Pers. maig, mala‘h ‘a locust,’ has long been recognised (see Darmesteter’s Etudes Tranniennes, II, p. 199). But the meaning of Av. sin = Pz. tfin has been merely guessed to be ‘a mosquito;’ the Avesta word having been transcribed as sfn, or sin, in the prose Sad-dar, LXXII, 2, and explained by the Persian gloss pasah, ‘a gnat or fly,’ by some copyists, while others have read san (for sin) and have substituted its synonym s4l, ‘a year,’ or have read bis, ‘a poisonous herb,’ instead of pasah. With regard to the word Supe tanand, ‘spider,’ in our text, it may be observed that it has descended from a much older copy of the Pahlavi Vendidad than any that could have been consulted by the author of the Sad-dar, and it is easy to see how an original Pahl. pe could have been read .!9f in PAzand by later copyists of the Vendidad. * Vend.
