- Information from Helmut Humbach and Prods O. Skjærvø's publication reads, "The ruin of the Sassanian monument of Paikuli is situated close to the southern ascent to the [Paikuli] pass. Originally, the monument consisted of a solid square tower. Four identical colossal busts of one and the same king of kings were built into the four walls. The western wall bore a large Middle-Persian inscription (eight rows of blocks, with a total of 46 lines), whereas the eastern wall bore the Parthian version of this (seven rows, with a total of 42 lines, all of them surviving in a fragmentary state. The subject of the inscription, carefully carved and written in perspective, is the quarrel over the succession, between Narseh (293-303) and Varahrān (293). In the course of his first two expeditions, in 1911 and 1913, E. Herzfeld had discovered a total of 97 inscribed blocks (54 Middle Persian, 43 Parthian). On his last visit to Paikuli in 1923, Herzfeld excavated the site and found 30 additional blocks (20 Middle Persian, 10 Parthian), which raise the total number of surviving blocks to 133."

- In Finding Aid, Joseph Upton's caption for N-128, folder 1 reads, "A brown envelope marked "Pahlavi Material List". The bulk of the material on the inscriptions at Paikuli is in N-128, supplemented by an Album of photographs and blueprints in N-129 and a black, loose-leaf notebook (Corpus), No.8 in N-127. The material was examined and catalogued in 1953 by Prof. J. de Menasce, University of Fribourg, Switzerland. His detailed catalogue and comments are given in two papers in the file, one entitled "A Provisional Inventory of the Literary Remains of the late Professor E.E.Herzfeld concerning Iran..."; the other "A Guide to the Middle Persian material in the Herzfeld Archive.". The Guide also has additions or emendations in pencil, presumably entered at a later date, probably by Prof. R.N.Frye. An element of confusion is introduced in the Paikuli material by the 32 blocks either newly discovered or cleaned, re-photographed and re-drawn by Herzfeld in 1924, after the publication of the earlier blocks had appeared in the Paikuli volume. The new blocks required some re-arrangement in the ordering of the original blocks. As Prof. de Menasce implies in his note, only a close study of the material by a competent scholar can determine which of the proposed arrangements is the correct one. In addition to the above guides, there is (1) a separate undated and unsigned sheet entitled "Pahlavi Material in the Herzfeld Collection" and (2) a new summary of Herzfeld's last arrangement of Paikuli blocks, including those unpublished, based on the arrangement in No.13, N-128. The summary gives the old (Herzfeld's) numbers of the original squeezes in the Archive (noted on separate file catalogue cards) and the new numbers given to the squeezes when they were re-organized for storage. The summary also gives the negative numbers of the squeezes and stones (when available) and the numbers of the published blocks as they appear in Herzfeld's last copy. With the papers noted above is a detailed catalogue of three of the four large Albums in N-129, prepared by Pére de Menasce, as well as correspondence of Mr. Wenley, Prof. de Menasce and others concerning the publication of the Paikuli material. For information about the squeezes themselves, see the "Catalogue of Squeezes"."
- In Finding Aid, Joseph Upton's caption for N-128, folder 2 reads, "A folder of heavy white paper with the Kartīr inscription at Sar Mashhad, enclosing 4 photographs (with blueprints) of sections of the inscription; a tracing of an unidentified amulet with page giving inscriptions in two Pahlavi scripts: cursive and book Pahlavi; 2 pages of what appear to be Pahlavi inscriptions on bullae. The folder is marked "All these to be microfilmed for Rev, J. de Menasce"."
- In Finding Aid, Joseph Upton's caption for N-128, folder 3 reads, "Manila folder containing: (1) the Pahlavi and Greek texts of the Ka'ba inscription, Naqsh-i Rustam; (2) a comparative table of transliterated texts of the Kartīr inscriptions at Sar Mashhad, Naqsh-i Rustam. K i Z (Ka'ba) and Naqsh-i Rajab."
- In Finding Aid, Joseph Upton's caption for N-128, folder 4 reads, "Tracings of 26 Paikuli block inscriptions, and photographs of 126 (all but three) of the small transcripts of the blocks from Herzfeld's last copy. Those missing are (1) transcript of a seal inscription, (2) of an unnumbered block E 1, and (3) of a new unnumbered block marked "before D-5." See No.13 for the small transcripts. On the back of each photograph is noted the number of the block and its location in the series of blocks."
- In Finding Aid, Joseph Upton's caption for N-128, folder 5 reads, "Manila folder marked "Paikuli, the Sasanian Version. Blueprints of the unpublished squeezes. The numbers on the back refer to those given by E.H. to his latest copies of the blocks"."
- In Finding Aid, Joseph Upton's caption for N-128, folder 6 reads, "Manila folder of blueprints of unpublished Pahlavik or Parthian squeezes. A note on the cover (which also includes folder 5) by P. de Menasce says: "Blueprints. These are photographs of E.H.'s latest squeezes mostly unpublished or photographed anew." The numbers on the backs are from Herzfeld's last copy."
- In Finding Aid, Joseph Upton's caption for N-128, folder 7 reads, "Manila folder with blueprints of Kartīr inscription, Naqsh-i Rajab; large photographs of (1) Greek inscription at Sarpul, (2) Kartīr inscription, Naqsh-i Rajab, (3) (right side of Main Staircase, Persepolis, and (4) Pahlavi and Greek inscriptions on horse's rump, Naqsh-i Rustam."
- In Finding Aid, Joseph Upton's caption for N-128, folder 8 reads, "Photographic negative of Squeeze 93, 9 × 11". Paikuli, p.109. Another Neg.4396."
- In Finding Aid, Joseph Upton's caption for N-128, folder 9 reads, "Photographic negative of Squeeze 93, 9 × 11". Paikuli, p.145. Another Neg.4317."
- In Finding Aid, Joseph Upton's caption for N-128, folder 10 reads, "Long manila envelope contains small drawings of individual Paikuli blocks and long strips of transcript, apparently showing an attempt to reconstruct the lines of the inscriptions. Envelope also contains tracing of a coin of Phraates IV with Greek inscriptions."
- In Finding Aid, Joseph Upton's caption for N-128, folder 11 reads, "("Parthian") A record of the Pahlavik stones as prepared by Rawlinson in Hebrew script with Herzfeld's notations of changes."
- In Finding Aid, Joseph Upton's caption for N-128, folder 12 reads, "("Sasani") Similar record of Rawlinson's list of the Parsik stones in Hebrew with, in some cases, Herzfeld's transliteration into Pahlavi. Also contains 11 slips of blocks with existing text supplemented by Rawlinson's copies."
- In Finding Aid, Joseph Upton's caption for N-128, folder 13 reads, "Manila envelope of Institute of Advanced Study contains two white envelopes marked A and B. On the large envelope is written "Paikuli, Last Copy. All numbers written by J, de Menasce refer to this". On A de Menasce wrote "The Paikuli Inscription, pahlavīk. Last state of Herzfeld's arrangement. Contains unpublished material." On B de Menasce wrote "The Paikuli Inscription, parsīk. Last state of Prof. Herzfeld's arrangement. Contains unpublished material." (The unnumbered block marked "before D-5" seems to be another version of the block following E-7 (J.M.U.'74))."
- In Finding Aid, Joseph Upton's caption for N-128, folder 14 reads, "("Paikuli II, 1923, 1-7 Juni") This is the field sketchbook of Herzfeld's last trip to Paikuli with sketches of new inscriptions and notes. Also contains sketch of an inscribed Sasanian bulla from Sarpul."
Arrangement:
In the original arrangement of the Ernst Herzfeld Archive, Notebooks were included in a larger body of diverse material acknowledged by Ernst Herzfeld as his study collection. In the early 1970s, Joseph Upton, for research purpose, rearranged the collection and created a specific series (Ernst Herzfeld Papers, Series 3: Notebooks, 1904-1946, 1957, n.d.) for 131 notebooks, including four ledgers and eight travel journals. Upton has given this notebook an accession number, N-128, related to the series he created for the notebooks, probably following Herzfeld's original organization.

Originally, the monument consisted of a solid square tower. Four identical colossal busts of one and the same king of kings were built into the four walls. The western wall bore a large Middle-Persian inscription (eight rows of blocks, with a total of 46 lines), whereas the eastern wall bore the Parthian version of this (seven rows, with a total of 42 lines, all of them surviving in a fragmentary state. The subject of the inscription, carefully carved and written in perspective, is the quarrel over the succession, between Narseh (293-303) and Varahrān (293). In the course of his first two expeditions, in 1911 and 1913, E. Herzfeld had discovered a total of 97 inscribed blocks (54 Middle Persian, 43 Parthian). On his last visit to Paikuli in 1923, Herzfeld excavated the site and found 30 additional blocks (20 Middle Persian, 10 Parthian), which raise the total number of surviving blocks to 133."
