English, Sharp
Darius the King says: This kingdom, of which Gaumâta, the Magus, deprived Cambyses, this kingdom from long past was in our family. After that, Gaumâta, the Magus, deprived Cambyses (of it). He acquired both Persia and Media, and the other countries. He made them his own possession. He became king.
