Darius the King says: There was no man, neither a Persian nor a Mede, nor anyone of our family, who would make Gaumâta, the Magus, deprived of the kingdom. The people were greatly afraid of him, that he would kill much people, who formerly knew Smerdis. For that reason he would kill much people, "lest they should know me that I am not Smerdis, the son of Cyrus." No one dared to say anything about Gaumâta, the Magus, until I came.

And Darius the king says: There was no man, no-one(?), not a Persian or a Mede or (anyone) from our family, who received the kingship from Gaumata the Magus. The people greatly feared him. (He) slaughtered the people, (those) who formerly knew Smerdis. For that reason (he) slaughtered the people: lest (they) know me that I am not Smerdis, Cyrus, his son and no-one (with) anything related to Gaumata Magus came forth, until I came.
