Of Arsames.

ARsames was the sōne of Ochus: the same was made kyng being yet yonge, by the capitain of the host, which flew his father Ochus. But when Arsames began now to wax great, the capitain of the hoost fearyng, by reason of the wycked dede that he had done, he slew by a disceat this Arsames also. Afterward makyng a league with Codomanus prince of Armenia, he toke to hym the kyngdome also, and called hym, Darius. Thus was the kynred of the noble prince* 1.1 Cyrus quenshed, and the kyngdome of the Per∣sians beyng translated from Cyrus posterite, came to a foren prince. Nether is that onely to be lamen∣ted, that suche power and honour, and so hygh gyf∣tes of God, were deleyed and put out of remem∣braunce within so few yeares: but muche rather, that Cyrus folowers beyng strayght waye vnlyke hym, dyd declare their father to haue no maner of vertue, the whiche appeareth in Ochus, whose fea∣tes of tyranny gaue occasion that the whole kynred of Cyrus was abolyshed.
