The Persepolis Fortification Tablets

With over 2100 texts published, the Persepolis Fortification Texts in Elamite, transcribed, interpreted, and edited by the late Richard Hallock, already form the largest coherent body of material on Persian administration available to us. Essentially, they deal with the movement and expenditure of food commodities in the region of Persepolis in the fifteen years down to 493.
