The crisis, which so soon followed the splendid reign of Asshur-bani-pal, appears to have been hastened by a fresh Aryan migration into Media; and their attack on the eastern frontier perhaps found Assyria weakened by the inroads of those very Scythians who interrupted the progress of the Medes. The renewed assault of the latter appears to have coincided with - Eiffleb.' Cbron. Arm.' para I. c. ix. (ed. Mai), bnt the better version is given by Aucber. There is the less difficulty about the substltu Hun of A$tyaga for Cyaxma, aa the former appears to have been a title of the Median kings (see chap. lix. 9). Respecting the name...
