《萨珊银》挑战艺术史学家在一个经常虚幻的历史框架内解释和联系材料、技术、风格和主题的问题。对于社会历史学家来说，这些船只表达了伊朗封建贵族的文化及其王朝意识形态。金石学家和语言学家，在他的回合，是挑战的铭文，有时发现的银器。随着这些例子的积累和比较，对它们的解释也取得了进展。Y. I.斯米尔诺夫给了他出版的船只上的铭文仔细传真;和E。赫茨菲尔德显著地提高了他们的阅读水平。最近，A。Livshits和V.G. Lukonin提出了这些修订的读数;和R。N.弗莱发表了进一步的重新解释，沿着了一些新的例子。W. B。亨宁的修订和他对新发现的铭文的分析形成了一个关键的贡献。2这些和其他例子的集合有助于澄清整个语料库。现存的铭文可分为三个年代组：A，大约公元300年; B，约500-695; C，约700及以后。铭文的年代可能与其船只的年代不一致。所有者的姓名和/或物体的重量有时可能是后来添加到旧船。R. N.弗莱认为，这样的铭文可能表明该船的税收登记;3卡瓦德一世后期统治（499-531）或Xusrau I和II时期（531-579，591-628）可能是这样登记的时间。组B铭文与六世纪晚期纸草和晚期萨珊铭文的正字法一致。它们通过古文字学与A组区分，通过重量标准的不同与C组区分。B组铭文的内部序列最终可能会通过更精细的古文字分析得到更好的确定。
SASANIAN SILVER OBJECTS challenge the art historian to explain and relate questions of materials, techniques, styles, and motifs within an often illusive historical frame. To the social historian, these vessels provide an expression of the culture of the Iranian feudal aristocracy with its dynastic ideology. The epigrapher and philologist, in his turn, is challenged by the inscriptions sometimes found on the silverware. As examples of these have accumulated and been compared, their interpretation has progressed. Y. I. Smirnov gave careful facsimiles of inscriptions on the vessels he published; and E. Herzfeld notably advanced their reading. More recently, V. A. Livshits and V. G. Lukonin have presented revised readings of these; and R. N. Frye has published a further reinterpretation, along with some new examples. W. B. Henning's revisions and his analyses of newly found inscriptions formed a crucial contribution.2 The assembling of these and additional examples helps to clarify the entire corpus. The existing body of inscriptions divides into three chronological groups: A, about 300 A.D.; B, about 500-695; C, about 700 and after. The chronology of the inscriptions may, perhaps, not be identical with that of their vessels. The owner's name and/or the object's weight may occasionally be a later addition to an older vessel. R. N. Frye has suggested that such inscriptions could indicate registration of the vessel for taxation;3 Kawad I's latter reign (499-531) or the periods ofXusrau I and II (531-579, 591-628) would be likely times for such a registration. Group B inscriptions ar in harmony with the orthography of the late sixth-century papyri and of the late Sasanian inscriptions. They are distinguished from Group A by paleography and from Group C by the difference in weight standard. The internal sequence of Group B inscriptions may eventually be better established by a more refin paleographic analysis.
