[13b] There was none who dared to act against Gaumâta, the Magian, until I came. Then I prayed to Ahuramazda. Ahuramazda brought me help. On the tenth day of the month Bâgayâdiš [29 September 522 BCE] I, with a few men, slew that Gaumâta, the Magian, and the chief men who were his followers. At the stronghold called Sikayauvatiš, in the district called Nisaia in Media, I slew him; I dispossessed him of the kingdom. By the grace of Ahuramazda I became king. Ahuramazda granted me the kingdom. |
13b. (1.53-61) Nobody dared say anything about Gaumata, the Magian, until I came. After that I sought the help of Ahuramazda. Ahuramazda bore me aid. Of the month Bagayadi 10 days were past then I with a few men slew that Gaumata, the Magian, and those who were his foremost followers. A fortress named Sikayauvati, a district named Nisaya, in Media – here I slew him. I took the kingdom from him. By the favor of Ahuramazda I became king. Ahuramazda bestowed the kingdom upon me. |
