To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In one of his inscriptions he definitely states that he ' built this fortress on a place where no fortress had been built before, ' and that he did so by the grace of 4 Auramazda and the other gods. ' 2 Darius erected at least two of the noblest buildings, but the elaboration of the design was due to Xerxes and its completion to his successors. Though far grander in its magnificence than any ordinary fortress, it must have been easily guarded by armed patrols on the walls and by platoons of sol...diers stationed at all points of access, and reasons have been advanced for believing that its strength was re-enforced by walled fortifications or turrets in front of it on the plain. 3 The southerly position of the Palace of Darius and the fact that it faces southward has led, not unreasonably per- haps, to the assumption that there was originally an approach from the south or southeast, whereas the regular means of access, which must have been unchanged since the time of Xerxes, is by a great double staircase constructed in the wall near the northwest angle of the platform.
