Darius the King says: After that I went away from Babylon; I set off for Media. When I reached Media - (there is) a town, Kundurush by name, in Media – there this Phraortes, who called himself the king in Media, came with an army against me to do battle. After that, we fought the battle. Ahuramazda bore me aid; by the favour of Ahuramazda I severely defeated the army of Phraortes. 25 days of the month Adukanaisha were past, then we fought the battle.

And Darius the king says: Then I came forth from Babylon and went to Media. When I went to Media, the town, Kuntarruš by name, in Media, that Phraortes, who said: I held kingship of the Medes, came to do battle. Then (we) did battle. Ahuramazda sent me aid. (By) the intercession of Ahuramazda, I slaughtered the troops of Phraortes. 25 days of the month Hadukannaš had passed, thus (we) did battle.
