介绍（中）	这些圆形的石珠是在伊朗北部的Shahr-i Qumis的地表上发现的，该地被确定为赫卡托普洛斯古城，约公元前200年由帕提亚人建立为其首都。在希腊语中，赫卡托克洛斯的意思是"一百扇门"，这表明这座城市相当大。事实上，现代考古遗址包括几个土堆，其中只有几个被挖掘出来，还有一大片被碎片覆盖的区域 1967年，英国波斯研究所在Shahr-i Qumis的发掘工作由大都会艺术博物馆共同赞助。然而，由于大都会博物馆为该研究所在伊朗另一个遗址Tepe Nush-i Jan的发掘工作提供了财政捐助，该博物馆直到1978年才获得这些珠子。当时，伊朗政府允许外国挖掘机保留一部分发现物，而这些挖掘机反过来会将其份额分配给支持这项工作的机构。
介绍（英）	These round stone beads were discovered on the surface at Shahr-i Qumis in northern Iran, which has been identified as the ancient city of Hecatompylos, established by the Parthians as their capital by about 200 B.C. In Greek Hecatompylos means ‘a hundred gates,’ suggesting that the city was quite large. Indeed, the modern archaeological site includes several mounds, only a few of which have been excavated, and a vast area covered with potsherds. The excavations at Shahr-i Qumis by the British Institute of Persian Studies in 1967 were co-sponsored by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. However, the museum did not acquire these beads until 1978, as a result of the Met’s financial contributions to the Institute’s excavations at Tepe Nush-i Jan, another site in Iran. At the time the Iranian government allowed foreign excavators to keep a portion of the finds, and these excavators in turn would divide their share among the institutions that supported the work.
