Ariaramnes (Old Persian: ๐Ž ๐Žผ๐Žก๐Žน๐Ž ๐Žผ๐Žถ๐Žด[1] Ariyฤramna,[2] "He who brings peace to the Aryans (i.e. Iranians)"[3]) was a great-uncle of Cyrus the Great and the great-grandfather of Darius I, and perhaps the king of Parsa,[4] the ancient core kingdom of Persia. As supported by the relief at Behistun he was the first king of a separate Achaemenid branch that ran parallel[clarification needed] to the reigns of Cyrus I and his son Cambyses I. These gold tablets allegedly documented the reigns of Ariaramnes and his son Arsames and were written in Old Persian in the first person. Another attestation of his reign is the later Behistun Inscription, where his great-grandson Darius I states that eight Achaemenid kings preceded him and then, he must be counting Ariaramnes as a king.
