This is confirmed in Muslim texts as well. (Assuming that Achamenian Kings and Sassanian Kings had the same traditions)

The administrator of Yemen, appointed by Sassanian ruler at the time, sent two envoys to the Messenger of Allah (sall Allahu alay wa salam) to summon him.

When they came into his presence, he noticed that they had shaved their beards and grew their moustaches.

He irked to look at them (because of their odd appearance) and he said: Woe be to you, who told you to do so? They replied: "Our lord! (referring to the Sassanian King.)" The Messenger of Allah (sall Allahu alay wa salam) then said:

But my Lord, may He be exalted and glorified, has commanded me to leave alone my beard (Classified as "Hasan" by Al-Albaani)


In any event, that is a very interesting map and graphic, Cyrus, thanks.

Cyrus is it true that Achamanid kings and nobels wore false beards?

The Cappadocian should be farther east, just behind the Armenian.  Right now he's where I would put a Lydian subject.

The Cappadocian should be just about the middle between the Ionian and the Armenian.  Where the Cappadocian is now, I would put a Phrygian.  I would put the Ionian just a little further west in order to have enough room enough to put a Lydian.

Scythians should be Sakas on the map. Scythians were on the northeast of Thracians.

In Persian designations all Scythians are Sakas, just as to the Greeks, all Sakas are Scythians.  But, yes, just as Cyrus have drawn a distinction between "Greeks" and "Ionians", known collectively by the Persians as Yauna, "Ionians", he should distinguish the "Scythians" and "Sakas", known collectively by the Persians as Saka, likewise.

Great stuff Cyrus, mind if I repost it at other message boards?

no problem, just mention the source, thanks!

When Darius the Great conquered northern and eastern Greece.

and whats the big difference between the Ionians and the Greeks? Weren't they mostly the same?

You should know it better than me, both of them have been mentioned as Yauna by Persians but they were not the same.

Yauna tyaiy ushkahya uta tyaiy drayahya uta dahyava tya para draya
Ionians who are of the mainland and (those) who are by the sea, and countries which are across the sea.

ha-kha-man-e-SHI (Achaemenid) from ha-kha-man-ESH (Achaemenes), the founder, the "i" at the end turning it into an adjective.

The second "a" is pronounced as in "wall" and the other two as in "cat".

The shaving fashion came in the Hellenistic period, at the 4th century BC and passed to the Romans as well. Before that they kept beards.
