There fell into my hands altogether between the commencement of my reign
and my fifth year 42 countries, with their kings, from beyond the river
Zab, plain, forest, and mountain, to beyond the river Euphrates, the
country of the Khatte[1] and the upper ocean of the setting sun. I brought
them under one government; I placed them under the Magian religion, and I
imposed on them tribute and offerings.
