The research methodology includes the correction of the incorrect words and proposing their original, appropriate records in a Comparative way by making reference to some thematic and linguistic evidences from the text of Atabat-ol-Kataba and other relevant texts. The results indicate that most of these erroneous records are of the incorrectness are of a tahrif (wrong replacement of letters) and tashif (wrong replacement of tittles on letters), resulting from manipulations by the scribes or misreadings by the editors.
