“Finally, the argument based on the authority of Suidas and Harpocration16, that the coin darik, was called, not after Darius Hystaspis, as many have supposed, but after an older monarch of this name, probably the Median Darius of Daniel17, is also in view of modern researches extremely doubtful18.” (Pages 49–50)
“but it is extremely probable that there is no connection linguistically between the two.” (Page 265)
“There is every reason to believe that this Darius is no other than Darius Hystaspis15.” (Page 49)
“The attempt to identify the Darius of Daniel with the King Darius mentioned in the Armenian Chronicle of Eusebius14 can hardly be regarded as satisfactory.” (Page 49)
“The idea can hardly be entertained that there is an allusion here to an earlier Darius.” (Page 49)
