But in what year did this occur ? Thucydides, the most accurate of historians, and the contemporary of Artaxerxes himself, states in his immortal work, the Peloponnesian War, that when the sum...mer half of the seventh year of the war, i. E. B. C. 425, was ended*, and the winter half had set in*, an envoy from Persia was intercepted and brought to Athens, and that the Athe- nians thereupon sent an embassy to Ephesus, where they heard that Artaxerxes was just dead b . From this account it is evident that the Athenian envoys heard the news at Ephesus about December, so that the death of Artaxerxes had occurred about the month of November. Now Dio- dorus Siculus states that Artaxerxes reigned 40 years, and he afterwards repeats the same thing without any variation* 1 ; and as all history harmonizes with the fact, we may safely assume it.
