I would like to make a correction to my recent post on the Medes as another
name for the Persians as identified by J. Simons in 1954.

I had stated that I first shared my discovery of the genealogical connection
preserved by the Greek historians, Herodotus, Strabo and Diodoros Siculus,
in November of 1997. I was in error, it was 15 September 1997.
