G. Lips. Cantabr. 2. Par. F. H. Vncis inclusit hunc versum Porsonus, ex Schützii sententia, qui putavit, quum septem principes Persarum ad Smerdin tollendum coniurasse notum esset, scholiastam quendam ad explicanda Aeschyli verba,

, adiecisse septem coniuratorum nomina, tribus senariis inclusa, e quibus tertius eo facilius in textum irrepere potuerit, quod numerus
Extos
ordini regum ab Aeschylo enumeratorum responderet. Aut hoc statuendum est, aut excidisse post v. 778. aliquot versus, quibus quinque reliquorum coniuratorum nomina continebantur. Atque hoc quidem Bentleium suspicatum esse Butlerus refert, eandemque sententiam Siebelis p. 131. seq. protulit, in eo tantum falsus, quod singulos coniuratorum per aliquod temporis spațium deinceps regnum tenuisse opinatus est, qua re splendidiorem fieri regum Persicorum seriem. Ut quinque coniuratorum nomina excidisse putarem et proinde ante v. 779. lacunae signa ponerem, maxime ea me moverunt quae sequuntur. Nam si deleto hoc versu,
ἕκτος δὲ Μάραφις, ἕβδομος δ' Αρταφρένης
, proximos versus cum commemoratione quinti regis coniungi volumus, non modo per aliam particulam quam per
zaí
adnecti debebant, sed etiam illa,
úhov ť ἔκυρσα τοῦπερ ἤθελον κἀπεστράτευσα πολλὰ σὺν πολλῷ στρατῷ
, aliter dicenda erant. Nam quis ex eo, quod Darius, quinto rege commemorato, ea se quam volebat sorte potitum dicit, intelligat eam sortem in regia dignitate potius quam in alia re positam fuisse? Itaque si apte et perspicue loqui vellet, certe eam se sortem, quam nunc teneret, se obtinuisse diceret. Quod si cum Artaphernis eiusque sociorum mentione haec coniungamus, non minus laborabit orationis concinnitas. Nam ne sic quidem intelligi potest sortem illam, qua se ex voto potitum dicit, occiso a coniuratis rege, imperium esse. Quae quum ita sint, non videtur dubitandum esse, quin pluribus de ista coniuratione exposuerit, ita ut indicaret uni ex coniuratis regnum obtingere debuisse. Ex iis quae interciderunt unum fortasse vocabulum superest, servatum a scholiasta Hermogenis apud Bastium ad Gregorium Cor. p. 241. et in Walzii Rhet. Graecis vol. V. p. 486. Verba, quibus explicatur quid sit

, haec sunt,

Nach Tilgung des unechten Verses (s. Anhang) setzt Dareios stillschweigend als bekannt voraus, daſs einer dieser ἄνδρες φίλοι er selbst gewesen sei. κἀπεστράτευσα πολλά, nach vielen Richtungen; jetzt im einzelnen be- kannt durch die groſse Inschrift von Behistan; s. Spiegel, Keilinschr. S. 9ff. nebst Erân S. 326: ,,Dareios mufste sich das Reich, das er be- herrschen sollte, erst wieder erobern. Auch nachdem diese Eroberung schon gelungen ist, tauchen immer wieder neue Versuche auf. Jede Provinz macht ihre Empörung für sich ab, ohne sich mit der andern zu verbinden, wodurch es dem Da- reios möglich wurde die Aufstände nach und nach zu unterdrücken. Die gefährlichsten waren die des Naditabira in Babylon und die des Fravartis in Medien; gegen beide zieht auch Dareios persönlich zu Felde."
