Being engaged in the preparation of an edition of the Old Persian inscriptions of Naqš-i Rustam and Persepolis for theCorpus Inscriptionum Iranicarum(CII), the present author was given the privilege of looking through the relevant material collected by Émile Benveniste (1902-76), who had been entrusted by the Council of theCIIin August 1954 with the task of preparing the edition of the cuneiform inscriptions of the Achaemenid kings. In this collection there were found photographs of two minor Old Persian texts of King Xerxes I, previously documented only in the form of drawings by Ernst Herzfeld. These photographs are presented for the first time in this short paper
