And that Mišdada fled and together with several horsemen went to Naširma. From there again he came (with?) troops against Irdumartiya to do battle. In a mountain, Parrakka by name, (he) did battle. Ahuramazda sent me aid. (By) the intercession of Ahuramazda, my troops slaughtered the troops of Mišdada. 5 days of the month Karmapadaš had passed, thus (he) did battle and (Irdumartiya) seized that Mišdada and seized the men who were his foremost followers.

Darius the King says: When I was in Persia and Media, again a second time the Babylonians became rebellious from me. One man, Arkha by name, an Armenian, the son of Haldita, he rose up in Babylon. (There is) a district, Dubâla by name, from there he thus lied to the people, "I am Nebuchadrezzar, the son of Nabonidus." After that the Babylonian people became rebellious from me, (and) went over to that Arkha. He seized Babylon for himself. He became king in Babylon.

After that Intaphernes with an army went off to Babylon. Ahuramazda bore me aid; by the favour of Ahuramazda Intaphernes defeated the Babylonians, and led them bound. 22 days of the month Varkazana were past, then that Arkha, who falsely called himself Nebuchadrezzar and the men who were his foremost supporters he seized. I gave an order. This Arkha and the men who were his foremost supporters were impaled in Babylon.

And then Mindaparna went to Babylon together with troops. Ahuramazda sent me aid. (By) the intercession of Ahuramazda, Mindaparna slaughtered the Babylonians (and) led their troops shackled. 22 days of the month Markazanaš had passed, thus that Harraka who said I am Nebuchadnezzar was seized and the men who were his foremost followers together with him seized and bound. Then I ordered that Harraka and the men who were his foremost followers together with him imapled in Babylon.
