 Herodotus said he had four versions of the upbringing of Cyrus and how he came to be king available to him, and he chose to present only one of them ("Histories" 1.95).The account he chose is apparently the official view of the Persians; in other words, the agreement of Herodotus with the Nabonidus Chronicle in this matter should not be regarded as two independent testimonies.The Nabonidus Chronicle supports Xenophon in relating that it was Ugbaru/Gobryas, governor of Gutium, who was general of the armies that conquered Babylon.
