Darius the King says: One man, Fravartish, (Phraortes) by name, a Mede - he rose up in Media. To the people thus he said, "I am Khshathrita, of the family of Uvakhshatra (Cyaxares)." After that, the Median force, which (was) in the palace, became rebellious from me (and) went over to that Phraortes. He became the King in Media.
