Darius the King says: After that, this Phraortes with a few horsemen fled. (There is) a district, Ragâ (Ray) by name, in Media - along there he went off. After that I sent an army in pursuit. Phraortes, having been seized, was brought to me. I cut off his nose and ears and tongue. And I put out one eye. At my door he was kept bound; all the people saw him. After that, at Hamadân I impaled him, and the men who were his foremoset supporters, them I hanged at Hamadân in the fort.

Then that Phraortes together with several horsemen fled and went to Rakkan. Then I sent the troops after him. From there (he) was seized and brought (back) to me. I cut off his nose and tongue and ears and I put out one eye, (and) at my gate (he) was bound and seized. All people saw him and then at Ecbatana I impaled him and the men who were his foremost followers. At a fortress in Ecbatana I cut off their heads. I displayed(?) all of them together.
