C. we know that a certain Kuraš was the king of the country of Parsumaš at this time and this could be the grandfather of Cyrus «the Great». In the family tree between the two Cyri appears Cambyses I, who is mentioned by Herodotus.

It is unlikely that both Cyri camped in the same area (pace Mützell), for when Cyrus marched against Croesus he entered Asia Minor on the northerly route, as Pteria was his first objective (Hdt. i, 76.1), and he would not therefore have gone through the Cilician Gates.
