A LIST of the Avestan epithets of divine and demonic beings is of value in view of the assistance often derived from such terms in ascertaining the nature and functions of the deities and demons.1 The list here presented consists of two parts, arranged in the conventional order of the Avestan alphabet: (a) each epithet applied to a divine or demonic being with full reference to the passage or passages in which it occurs; and (b) each divine or demonic being, both separately and in all his groupings, with every epithet given to him. The following abbreviations are here employed: ifr. = ifrinak1n; Aog. = Aogamadajca; AZ. = frin-i-Zaratftst; FW. = Westergaard Fragments; G. = Gdsinbar; HY. EHa8xt Yast; Nor. Nrrangastin; Ny. = Nyayisn; Phl. tr. = Pahlavi translation; RV. ?Rg-Veda; Sir. = Si R5Jak; Vd. Vidjvdat; Vsp. = Visprat; VY. =Vfstasp Yast; Ys. = Yasna; Yt. = Yast.
