Note 38 — Chapter IX · BABYLONIAN AND ASSYRIAN CULTURE (continued 2)
Reading edition
[It is interesting to note that the name of the last native king of Babylonia is given correctly by Josephus, who seems here to follow the Greek writers in preference to the canonical records of his own race. The latter, it will be recalled, substitute the name of Belshazzar, a name not borne by any historical Babylonian king.]
