Passage A
[1-6] A great god is Ahuramazda, who created this earth, who created heaven, who created man,
who created happiness for man, who made Xerxes king, one king of many kings, commander of
many commanders.
[6-11] I am Xerxes, the great king, the king of kings, the king of all countries and many men, the
king in this great earth far and wide, the son of Darius, an Achaemenid.
[11-17] King Xerxes says: by the favour of Ahuramazda this Gate of All Nations I built. Much else
that is beautiful was built in this Persepolis, which I built and my father built. Whatever has been
built and seems beautiful - all that we built by the favour of Ahuramazda.
[17-20] King Xerxes says: may Ahuramazda preserve me, my kingdom, what has been built by
me, and what has been built by my father.
Text known as XPa, inscribed in the walls of the Gate of all Nations
