She made for herself a tomb over that one of the gates by which the people were chiefly wont to go forth. On this tomb she wrote certain words of which the significance was this: "If one of the Kings AFTER ME LACK MONEY, LET HIM OPEN THIS TOMB AND TAKE WHAT HE WILL. BUT LET HIM NOT OPEN IT UNLESS HE NEED, FOR IT WILL BE THE WORSE for him." This tomb no man would meddle with till Darius came to the kingdom. Now it seemed a grievous thing to Darius that no man should use the gate, and that money ...should be there, and that it should call men to take it, yet should not be taken. For no one used the gate because there was a dead body above his head as he went out. Wherefore he opened the tomb ; but having opened it, found no money therein, but only the dead body of the queen and these words, saying, " If thou WERE NOT INSATIATE OF MONEY AND A LOVER OF GAIN, THOU PIADST NOT OPENED THE RESTING- PLACE OF THE DEAD." Now the king against whom Cyrus made war was the son of this woman, and his name was Labynetus ; and this had been the name BABYLON.
