Abstract :
Very few Sasanian seals inscribed in Middle Persian bear the motif of a fire altar, and it is even rarer that the inscription bears any relation to the motif. Two seals corresponding to these standards are presented here, one of which, engraved in a very neglected script, had been published in 1978 without the whole inscription having been understood. The other seal inscribed in a clear lapidary writing made it possible to understand the inscription which relates to a personal Fire installed in a determined place.
