Records from this city mention commodities being “poured” before individuals such as the king, the official Karkiš (“KAR-kish”), and the royal woman Irdabama. Parnaka headed the administration at this city, where many kurtaš (“KOOR-tash”) workers were provided with rations recorded in the Fortification Tablets. The Gate of All Nations and Hall of a Hundred Columns were built at this non-Susa city home to the Apadana Palace, whose reliefs show 23 delegations bringing tribute. For 10 points, Darius I began the construction of what city near Naqsh-e Rustam, an Achaemenid (“uh-KEE-men-id”) capital whose name means “Persian city”? ■END■
