The Cyrus Cylinder and Achaemenid Imperial Policy
Abstract
L'humanitarisme de Cyrus, selon Xenophon et le livre d'Esdras, cette image de monarque eclaire ayant persiste jusqu'a nos jours: voir les louanges que lui ont adresse Ben Gourion, Arnold Toynbee, Maurice Leroy en 1971, lors des celebrations de son 2500 anniversaire a Shiraz. Un temoignage majeur avance: le celebre Cylindre de decouvert en 1879 a Babylone. L'.A. reprend le dossier. Il analyse le texte, avec l'addition du fragment de Yale recemment publie par P.-R. Berger (1975). Conclusions: il s'agit du genre inscription de fondation traditionnel en Mesopotamie, au contenu stereotype| c'est Marduk et Babylone qui sont concernes. Bref, le Cylindre de n'est pas une preuve d'un Cyrus tolerant et genereux.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
