Persepolis Fortification Tablets deal with administrative transfers of food comodities from 509 to 494B. C., that is, from the thirteenth to the twenty-eighth year of Darayavau-I. It is the main purpose of this paper to find some tentative solutions about the problems of the relations between the rites in Persepolis and the royal economy through the investigation of these texts.The writer extracted 103 texts referring to the religious life in Persepolis and then classified them into two groups according to the text styles as below.Group I; rations for gods, that is, rite expensesGroup II; rations for individuals with religious functionsAfter having analyzed them, I could get the following facts.1) The rites were subjected to the royal economy in the respect of the material sources and man-power.2) The royal economy showed positive concern in extending its control over the administration of rites.3) The distinction between religious and secular circle was not so clear-cut, because there seems to have been considerably high level of mobility between them. I could recognize the two streams of the people; the outflow of priests into officials and vice versa.4) It was Persian kara-, the main power of the conquest movement, that profited from these processes.In principle, this was based on the request of the state at the turning point from war to peace. Haxamaniš- needed not only to rearrange the administrative system but legitimately to absorb Persian kara- into it. In fact, Darayavau-I had already declared that he would protect the profits of Persian kara- in order to maintain the Haxamaniš- dynasty.
