But that's using the Greek/Latin names rather than Persian names. Is that how he actually wrote it?
I thought Parsis was just one area Cyrus gained control over, and one that the Greeks learned about early-ish on, so they attributed that name and those derived from it to all Achaimenians.
Would Haxmaneshya be the Persian equivilent to "Achaimenian"?
Thanks for your help.
