| Notes/Discussion: | The name Mahperoz is Iranian, Mah-Peroz, meaning “Victorious Moon” (?) or “Victorious throughout the Moon” or “”Moon of (King) Peroz”. The form of the name פנוי indicates perhaps an Iranian etymology, as Široy; it is perhaps hypocoristic from a compound such as Pan-dad, cf. Gignoux 1986, no. 749. The name כוזיתרי is Iranian, possibly meaning “of good lineage” (Segal 2000: p. 51). The same client, Mahperoz, appears in another six bowls found in the British Museum.
