_Cyrus_ lived seventy years, according to _Cicero_, and Reigned nine yearsover _Babylon_, according to _Ptolemy_'s Canon, and therefore was 61 yearsold at the taking of _Babylon_; at which time _Darius_ the _Mede_ was 62years old, according to _Daniel_: and therefore _Darius_ was twoGenerations younger than _Astyages_, the grandfather of _Cyrus_: for_Astyages_, according to both [401] _Herodotus_ and _Xenophon_, gave hisdaughter _Mandane_ to _Cambyses_ a Prince of _Persia_, and by them becameth...e grandfather of _Cyrus_; and _Cyaxeres_ was the son of _Astyages_, according [402] to _Xenophon_, and gave his Daughter to _Cyrus_. Thisdaughter, [403] saith _Xenophon_, was reported to be very handsome, andused to play with _Cyrus_ when they were both children, and to say that shewould marry him: and therefore they were much of the same age. _Xenophon_saith that _Cyrus_ married her after the taking of _Babylon_; but she wasthen an old woman: it's more probable that he married her while she wasyoung and handsome, and he a young man; and that because he was thebrother-in-law of _Darius_ the King, he led the armies of the Kingdom untilhe revolted: so then _Astyages_, _Cyaxeres_ and _Darius_ Reignedsuccessively over the _Medes_; and _Cyrus_ was the grandson of _Astyages_, and married the sister of _Darius_, and succeeded him in the Throne.
