The second obseruation.
The custome of the Persians was this, that when anie king went to warre against any strange nation, hee left his sonne, or the next of the bloud royall, to bee king in his place.* 1.1 Cyrus therefore when hee had warre against the Scythians, and marched towarde them, appointed Cambyses his sonne king of the countrey in his absence, according to the custome of the Persians. Xerxes likewise the sonne of Histaspis succeeded his father, but left his kingdome to his sonne Lon∣gimain when hee went to warre against the Greekes; in re∣garde heereof, sundrie writers doe not place Cambyses and Xerxes in the lineall order of succession, which point must bee well obserued to auoide obscuritie, and to reconcile the dissen∣ting historiographers.
