Quest. 5. Of the citie Shushan, by whom it was builded, and whence so named.

1. Strabo writeth that the citie Susa, as he calleth it, was first builded by Tithonus the father of Memnon: Diodorus lib. 3. c. 6. maketh Memnon the first builder of it, whereupon the citie was called a long time Memnonia. Plinie lib. 6. c. 27. saith it was built by Darius Hystaspis: But it is euident out of the text here, that Darius, which followed after these times could not be the builder of it. It may therefore thus be, that the citie was first founded by Memnon, and then afterward enlarged by Darius.

2. Strabo also saith, lib. 15. that it was Cyrus chiefe citie, both because it was nearer vn∣to other prouinces, which he had subdued: and for the honour of the Susians, that were most faithfull to the Persians, and neuer fell from them.

3. It was so called of Susan, which signifieth a lilie, of the pleasantnesse of the situation: as Ath••neaus noteth, Iun. Pol. of this Shushan, was the whole prouince called Susiane, Bullin.
