Abstract

 
The present work that fits in the recently flourished field of Irano-Talmudica, examines a Talmudic narrative (Qiddushin 70a) that includes a number of foreign words (non-Aramaic/non-Hebrew). This work aims to investigate the aforementioned words and analyze them philologically in order to identify the language or languages that were common in Sasanian Mesopotamia. There are a number of Pahlavi (Middle Persian) words in the narrative as well, and it worth mentioning that in some cases various pronunciations of certain Pahlavi words are attested. In conclusion, the presence of a common language like present-day Farsi that contains words borrowed from Semitic languages, Greek, etc. is being suggested.
