* Ararat.
Bochart reasonably concludes Ararat and Minni to be the
greater and lesser Armenia; and Ashchenaz he thinks formed
part of Phrygia near the Hellespont, part of that country
being called Ascania by Homer. Cyrus had conquered Armenia,
defeated Croesus king of Lydia, (B.C. 548,) and subdued
several nations from the Egean sea to the Euphrates, before he
marched against Babylon; and Xenophon also informs us that
there were not only Armenians, but both Phrygians and
Cappadocians in the army of Cyrus.

After Cyrus had been the instrument in the hands of God of
taking Babylon, he marched against Tomyris, queen of the
Massaget(912c) a Scythian nation, and was totally defeated, (B.C.
530.) The victorious queen, who had lost her son in a
previous battle, was so incensed against Cyrus, that she cut
off his head, and threw it into a vessel filled with human
blood, exclaiming, "Sattia te sanguine, quem sitisti."
