Note 514 — Chapter IV · BEER AND JACQUET TO RAWLINSON—A.D. 1838-1846

So late as 1839, he could not bring himself to give up ‘Ochus’ in the Murgab inscription, although he felt greatly shaken by the arguments of Jacquet in support of ‘Kurus.’ He ended by leaving 25 𐎤 unaltered, but changed 40 (𐎽) from s into gh (Zeitschrift, ii. 169-71). His acceptance of the correct value, r, appears in 1844: and the approximate value of q for 25 (𐎤) k, making ‘Qurus’ for ‘Kurus.’
