Old Persian norm., 6th c. B.C. IV §17

English, Sharp
Darius the King says: By the favour of Ahuramazda, and of me, there is much else that was done, that has not been written in this inscription. For that reason it has not been written, lest he who hereafter shall read this inscription, to him it might appear overmuch what has been done by me; this might not convince him; he might think it a lie.
Elamite, Saber Amiri § 47

English from Elamite, Saber Amiri §
And Darius the king says: (By) the intercession of Ahuramazda, much else has been done by me that (has) not been written in this inscription; for that reason may whoever reads this inscription hereafter think much that has been done by me, dand not believe (and) think, a lie.
