To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
[I have here quoted the original Pahlavi text instead of giving Windischmann's transliteration of the Pazend. Trans, note.] 2 Comp. Dr. West, S. B. E., vol. XXIV. ^ Proem. 9 : — " This is also related by Eudemus the Rhodian." 101 of the Resurrection. Eudemus was one of the best disciples of Aristotle (comp. Jons. Script orum Belleni- corum Phil., I, 15, 2). He has written a history of astronomy {Astrologikai Historiai), where he might very probably have made mention of Zoroaster. A book of Hera...clides Ponticus, who was a disciple of Plato and Aristotle, bore, as is alleged by Plutarch (^Adversus Coht., p. 1115-A), the name of Zoroaster. Among other books enumerated therein by Plutarch, he mentions also Herakleidou ton Zorodstren^ to peri ton en Hadou, to peri ton phusikos aporoumenon, " the Zoroaster of Heraclides upon infernal things or persons, and upon things physically problematical." We might, hence, be tempted to conjecture that, on account of the juxtaposition of the book on Zoroaster and the book on Hades, the story of Er, son of Armenius, had, perhaps, been introduced here and put in the mouth of Zoroaster.
