entry 191.2

1. Persians in kingship until then
   Without rejection, without contempt:
   Twelve kings—'tis no lie for fame—
   For two hundred and thirty years.
2. Greeks were [in the kingship] from that out,
   They carried off the cattle of the territories;
   On account of the number of their powerful ones without weakness,
   Every learned person is relating it.
