Abstract
This article deals with Iranian jobs and vocations, also artisans and farmers and stockmen and other public workers during the Sasanid period. The three clans or castes related to this period, namely, rulers, armies and the priests are not discussed here.
The data are based on the Pahlavi texts that were written form 3rd to 10th centuries. As far as the writer is aware, until now, except for scattered references to some of them, research work in this field has not been written or published separately and systematically.
The articles and assays published in this field, as mentioned in this article, did not directly refer to accessible Pahlavi texts and were mostly based on historical Persian and Arabic works of the early Islamic period, in other words, the original sources of Middle Persian or Pahlavi were not used much, and these cases refer to scattered examples, mostly to the names and special titles of the fourth class of Sasanian.
The presentation of these materials is important and beneficial from the perspective of historical and social linguistics and the accurate knowledge of the jobs of Iranians during the Sassanid era, and it shows us a suitable model in strengthening the Persian language and word formation and word selection related.
