XX, 34; XXI, 6, must have been carried out
in the latter part of Mânûskîhar's reign. , 380, B. C. IDIO. Accession of Auzôbô (Bd. XXXIV, 6). , 375, B.C. 1005. Accession of Kai-Kobâd (ibid. 6, 7). » 360, B. C. 990. Accession of Kaî-Us (ibid. 7). „ 300, B. C. 930. Zaratûst first mentioned by the ox that
