    We have to add several other Pahlavi books which are missed today and we are only aware of them through Arabic and Persian books where some information are written about them.
    Like Ayyatkar-i Anushirvan which the Arabic translation could be found in 'Tajarob-al Omam' of 'Ibn-i Muskuye' or 'Khvatay Namak' that is missed completely.
