Cambyses defeated Astyages, King of the Medea, who had marched against
him from Ecbatana (Hamadan), m the great battle which overthrew the
latter dynasty. Cyrus built himself a city and a palace on this site, which

M Madar-pSidMinan, he was ultimately buried [vide this Gazetteer-
Madar-i-Sulaiman (Takht-i-) ]. 1 he name Pasargadas was that of the royal
