Not illustrated. 1900 edition. Excerpt: ...with-a-liberal-offering (b) is himself a-man fit for-the-hearing-forth1 (sic), i. e. to be renowned among-our faithful-men; (c) and to-him Mazda Ahura will-give life or ' the people', (d) and will-cause the-settlements to-thrive through-good mind, i. e. through His-divine-benevolence in the faithful citizen'; (e) him we-think in-truth Your good-ally'. 14. 'Who is to-thee, 0-Zarathushtra, a-saintly true-friend in the faith (b) for-the-great Maga, i. e. 'for the effort-of-the-Cause'?;-or who-wishes for-the-'hearing-forth', i. e. 'to-be-renowned'2?

Roth suggested, I believe, 'between the true and false gift'. 16. ' 0-Frasliaoshtra come-thou hero witk-the-liberal-helpers, (b) Hvogva, with-those whom we-two-desire as an 'ushtft' a salvation-hail, '((be ye) in-the-wished-for (beatitude))' for-the-land; (c) come-thou where...
