This article is a publication of the fragmentary Old Persian inscription from the ancient Greek city of Phanagoria (the Taman Peninsula, Russia). The inscription was found in a private house built over the ruins of the city’s fortifications, which perished in a fire in the late first or the early second quarter of the 5th century BC. The fragment of the stele bears six partially preserved lines of the text. The signs at the beginning and the end of each line are missing. Due to the fragmentary nature of the inscription, its contents can not be determined. However, the archaeological context of the find allows us to attribute its authorship to King Xerxes. The new document attests that the Persian Empire took an active interest in the northern coast of the Black Sea.

本文是来自古希腊城市Phanagoria（俄罗斯塔曼半岛）的不完整的旧波斯铭文的出版物。碑文是在这座城市防御工事的废墟上建造的一所私人房屋中发现的，该废墟在公元前5世纪第一季度末或第二季度初在一场大火中丧生。石碑的片段上有六行部分保留的文字行。每行开头和结尾处的符号均丢失。由于铭文的碎片性，无法确定其内容。但是，该发现的考古背景使我们可以将其作者归功于Xerxes国王。新文件证明，波斯帝国对黑海北部海岸表现出积极的兴趣。
