Sources: The sources used for the Chronological Table have been varied and numerous. The entries in the Encyclopaedia Iranica, as far as they go, have been our surest source. Among other general works, the Encyclopaedia of Islam, the Encyclopedia of World History, the Encyclopaedia Britannica, the Realencyclopädie der classischen altertumswissenschaft and the Dāʾeret al-maʿāref-e bozorg-e eslāmi were consulted. The major source for the entire period is the seven-volume Cambridge History of Iran. Other main works consulted are:
Arnold T. Wilson, A Bibliography of Persia, Oxford, 1930.
L. P. Elwell-Sutton, A Bibliographical Guide to Iran, Brighton, 1983.
Josef Wiesehöfer, Ancient Persia, London, 1996.

S. Alizādeh, A. Pahlavāni, and A. Sadrniā, eds., Iran: a chronological history, Tehran, 2002.
Needless to say, some of the works need to be consulted with caution. Many dates, particularly the further back one goes in time, are imprecise and sometimes contradictory in different sources. In such cases, a judgment has been made and, where necessary, a range of dates has been given.
