[15]  King Darius says:  This was what I did after I became king.

[16]  King Darius says:  After I had slain Gaumâta, the Magian, a certain man named ššina, the son of Upadarma, raised a rebellion in Elam, and he spoke thus unto the people of Elam:  "I am king in Elam." Thereupon the people of Elam became rebellious, and they went over unto that ššina: he became king in Elam.  And a certain Babylonian named Nidintu-Bêl, the son of Kîn-Zêr, raised a rebellion in Babylon:  he lied to the people, saying:  "I am Nebuchadnezzar, the son of Nabonidus." Then did all the province of Babylonia go over to Nidintu-Bêl, and Babylonia rose in rebellion.  He seized on the kingdom of Babylonia  [3 October 522 BCE].
