	Behistun Inscription - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The inscription was illustrated by a life-sized bas-relief of Darius, holding a bow as a sign of kingship, with his left foot on the chest of a figure lying on his back before him.
		It was not until 1598, when the Englishman Robert Sherley saw the inscription during a diplomatic mission to Persia on behalf of Austria, that the inscription first came to the attention of western European scholars.
		Italian explorer Pietro della Valle visited the inscription in the course of a pilgrimage in around 1621, and German surveyor Carsten Niebuhr visited in around 1764 while exploring Arabia and the middle east for Frederick V of Denmark, publishing a copy of the inscription in the account of his journeys in 1777.

	Altman: Zoilos Votive Inscription
		While the block format facilitates fast reading (the even right-hand margin on a justified text behaves like a picture frame to keep the eye within the text area), protection of the written text is the paramount reason behind those neat blocks of texts, whether on clay, stone, parchment or papyrus.
		The block format requires that no room be left for an insertion; obviously, situations arose when this could not be done and one word would be spaced out and centered (as on the Armazi stele).
		In this case, the limestone tablet was not broken and the damage to the text of this inscription is not due to age.
