CAMBRIDGE: at the University Press 1905 First Edition 1900, Reprinted 1901, 1905 PREFACE BY THE GENERAL EDITOR FOR THE OLD TESTAMENT. THE present General Editor for the Old Testament in the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges desires to say that, in accordance with the policy of his predecessor the Bishop of Worcester, he does not hold himself responsible for the particular interpreta­ tions adopted or for the opinions expressed by the editors of the several Books, nor has he endeavoured to bring them into agreement with one another. It is inevitable that there should be differences of opinion in regard to many questions of criticism and interpretation, and it seems best that these differences should find free expression in different volumes. He has endeavoured to secure, as far as possible, that the general scope and character of the series should be observed, and that views which have a reasonable claim to consideration should not be ignored, but he has felt it best that the final responsibility should, in general, rest with the individual contributors.

ALL that is known of Daniel is contained substantially in the book which bears his name. The Book consists essentially of two parts: (1) a series of narratives (eh. i.-vi.), describing the experiences of Daniel and his companions, in the three reigns of Nebuchadnezzar (eh. i.-iv.), Belshazzar (eh. v.), and Darius the Mede (eh. vi.); and (2) a series of visions (eh. vii.-xii.), with introductions describing the circumstances attending them, pur­ porting to have been seen by Daniel during the reigns of Bel­ shazzar (eh. vii., viii.), Darius the Mede (eh. ix.), and Cyrus (eh. x.-xii.). The principal link connecting the two parts of the book is afforded by chaps. ii. and vii.-the four empires symbolized by the image in Nebuchadnezzar's dream in eh. ii. being the same as the four empires symbolized by the four beasts seen by Daniel in his vision described in eh. vii. The following is an outline of the contents of the Book. Nebuchadnezzar, having in the third year of Jehoiakim, king of Judah (B.C. 6o5), laid siege to Jerusalem, and carried away to Babylon several Jewish prisoners, determined shortly afterwards to have a number of noble and promising youths educated in ,the language and learning of the 'Chaldaeans,'-i.e. of the pro­ fessors of divination, magic, and astrology in Babylon,-with a X INTRODUCTION. view to their entering the king's service. Among the youths selected for the purpose were four of the Jewish captives, viz. Daniel, who received now the name of Belteshazzar, and Hana­ niah, Mishael, and Azariah, who received similarly the new names of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, .respectively1• The four youths, while content to pursue the studies prescribed by Nebuchadnezzar, determined, if possible, not to compromise their religious principles, by partaking of the special food pro­ vided for them from the royal table; and succeeded in obtaining permission to confine themselves to vegetable diet. At the end of three years, being found to excel all the others who had been educated with them, they are promoted to a place among the king's personal attendants, and prove themselves, when tested, to be superior in knowledge and ability even to the 'wise men' of Babylon themselves (eh. i.). An oppurtunity soon arrives for Daniel to give proof of his abilities. Nebuchadnezzar, in his second year, being disquieted by a dream, demands of the 'wise men' of Babylon that they should repeat and interpret it to him: being unable to do this, they are condemned by him to death. Daniel and his com­ panions, being, in virtue of their education, regarded a~ belong­ ing to the class of 'wise men,' and finding consequently their lives to be in danger, betake themselves to prayer; and in answer to their supplication the secret of the dream is revealed to Daniel. Being now, at his own request, brought before the king, Daniel declares and interprets to him his dream. The dream was of a colossal image, the head consisting of gold, the breast and arms of silver, and the rest of the body of various inferior materials: as the king beheld it, a stone 'cut out without hands' suddenly fell, and struck the feet of the image, which thereupon broke up, while the stone grew into a moun­ tain, which filled the whole earth. The image was interpreted by Daniel as signifying four empires-the head of gold being N ebucha:dnezzar himself, representing the empire of the Chal- l According to Josephus (Ant. XI. x_. 1)-though this may be only an inference, which does not necessarily follo'Y, from t~e terms of Dan. i. 3 b-the four yo,1ths were all related to Kmg Zedek1ah.

    1 Cyaxares: Media’s Great King in Egypt, Assyria, and Iran by Gunnar Heinsohn (University of Bremen, May 2006) I Cyaxares in the sources, and their refutation THE CLAIMS OF CLASSICAL HISTORIOGRAPHY: "He [Phraortes] began to subdue all Asia, going from people to people, until, in his campaigning, he came against the Assyrians, and especially those of the Assyrians who held Nineveh. These Assyrians had formerly ruled all of Asia but were now quite isolated, all their allies having dropped away from them. But in themselves they were as strong as ever, and when Phraortes fought them, he himself was killed. / Cyaxares, the son of Phraortes, [...] drew together under his own rule all Asia beyond the Halys. Then, collecting all his subject peoples, he attacked Nineveh. [...] He had defeated the Assyrians in battle; but then, when he was beleaguering Nineveh, there came upon him a great host of Scythians, whose leader was their king, Madyes. / The Medes also took Nineveh [...] and they made the Assyrians their subject, except for the province of Babylon“. (Herodotus, The History, I: 102/103/106.) --------------------------------------------------------- ASSYRIOLOGY’S “REFUTATION” OF CLASSICAL HISTORIANS: "In Assyrian and Babylonian records and in the archaeological evidence no vestiges of an imperial structure [of the Medes; G.H.] can be found. The very existence of a Median empire, with the emphasis on empire, is thus questionable. / I would suggest [...] that the Medikos Logikos, as we have it, is essentially a Greek product“. (Sancisi-Weerdenburg 1988, 212 / Sancisi-Weerdenburg 1994, 55.) “Only 20 years ago, the existence of a Median ‘Empire’ that had immediately succeeded the fall of Assyria, and ruled, for half a century, large parts of the Near East until Cyrus — as a supposed vassal of Astyages, the last king of Media — had defeated his overlord and inherited his empire, was regarded as a safe historical fact.

  • Map 86 Paphlagonia Compiled by C
    Map 86 Paphlagonia Compiled by C. Foss, 1995 Introduction The map comprises ancient Paphlagonia, and extends into eastern Bithynia and the northernmost part of Galatia. Evidence for the ancient topography is most abundant on the coast, along the Roman roads, and in Galatia. Arrian’s Periplus Ponti Euxini (written c. A.D. 132), together with an earlier text by Menippus (c. 20 B.C.) and a related Late Antique anonymous work, describe the coast in great detail. Most of the sites named in these works can be located at least approximately, although a few resist identification; Müller’s commentary in GGM I remains valuable. For the Roman roads, ItMiller is uncritical; French (1981) is far more useful, but treats only one major road. The roads of Paphlagonia are presented in admirable detail by TIB Paphlagonien, those of northern Galatia likewise by TIB Galatien. The interior of Paphlagonia is a remote, mountainous country, cut off from the regions to the south by long, parallel ranges. Communication east and west is relatively easy; north and south, it is much more difficult. The country contains a few long, wide plains and river valleys, some of considerable fertility. In antiquity, the mountains were heavily forested. For the most part, the region was never densely populated. For a general description, see Leonhard (1915); and for an excellent account of some areas (including eastern Bithynia), with discussion of specific problems, note Robert (1980). RE Paphlagonia gives a full list of all named sites (cols. 2537-50) and of physical remains (2498-2510, 2515). Some features listed there do not appear on the map because of limited significance or uncertainty of dating.

  • Assyrians” Dominated Upper-Asia 520 Years Before the Medes Consolidated and Revolted
    APPENDIX 3A, III NARRATIVE Herodotus and Xenophon Notes: Citations at regular intervals are Herodotus, italicized book.paragraph, and Xenophon, underscored book, chapter.paragraph. The citations when they occur refer to preceding paragraphs. Supplementations from Cambridge Ancient History are cited volume and page(s). The narration presents primary historical highlights and relationships. Battle strategies and national cultures, as well as secondary events described by Herodotus and Xenophon, are not summarized. Bracketed numbers or letters following proper names correspond with Appendix 3A, I (Charted Exploration of Familial Relationships, Media/Persia). Refer to Appendix 2D, “Calendar Year Comparison Timeline,” for chronological orientation. 1 Herodotus states that the “Assyrians” dominated upper-Asia 520 years before the Medes consolidated and revolted. Circa 700 b.c. Mede leaders, determined to corral anarchy in their regions, appointed a king--Deioces, “a man of much wisdom [and] ambition, [an] arbiter.” Deioces collected a nation of Median tribes, including the Busae, Paretaceni, Struchates, Arizanti, Budii and the Magi, and caused construction of “Agbatana” as a central Mede city. Deioces reigned 53 years. He was succeeded by his son, Phraortes II, under 2 whom Media came to dominate some neighboring Persian provinces as well. When Phraortes II succeeded Deioces, the Ninevehite Assyrians, “former...lords of Asia,” internally were “as flourishing as ever,” but had lost allies and stood alone. Phraortes II battled the Ninevehite Assyrians once, at the end of his 22-year reign; but he and the greater part of his army perished in the attempt. Phraortes II was succeeded by his son, Cyaxares I. 1.96-102, 140 Cyaxares I reigned for 40 years.
