The spelling of proper names and religious terms has been simplified, however, in the Introduction as well as in the English translation. The text is that of K. F. Geldner’s edition: Avesta, The Sacred Books of the Parsis \-Ill, Tabingen 1886. Departures from this norm are indicated by a postponed small circle (°) in the case of orthographic variants and given explicitely in the foot-notes when involving morphological differences. Abbreviations etc. OAv. = Old Avestan (ie. the language of the Yatha Aho Vairiyo, the Ashem Voha, the Gathas, the Yasna Haptanghaiti, and the A Airyema Ishiyo) Ya. = Young Avestan (i.e. the language of the Younger Avesta) lit. = literally ms. = manuscript mss, = manuscripts var. = variant reading found in one or more manuscripts var = variant readings found in the manuscripts In the Avestan text: (square brackets denote later additions to the text <> pointed brackets denote loss of text or elements of text In the English translation: () round brackets are used to denote additions inserted for better intelligibility.
