in the texts
Adversus Marcionem
The king who beholds a fourth man, called Son of man, in the fiery furnace with the martyrs.
This was the one seen by the Babylonian king in the furnace with his martyrs, the fourth, as the Son of man.
De Paenitentia
A king of Babylon restored to his kingdom after years of penitential squalor, cited as an exemplum of exomologesis.
Shall the sinner, in restoring himself, knowingly pass by the exomologesis instituted by the Lord — that exomologesis which restored the Babylonian king to his kingdom?
Cyropaedia
Hostile ruler of Babylon killed during Cyrus's palace assault.
And when day dawned and those in possession of the citadels discovered that the city was taken and the king slain, they surrendered the citadels, too.
But, as a noise and tumult ensued, those within heard the uproar, and at the king’s command to see what the matter was, some of them opened the gates and ran out.
and those about the king perished also, one where he had sought some shelter, another while running away, another while actually trying to defend himself with whatever he could.
