This was Artaxerxes, the third son and successor of Xerxes,
surnamed [Makrocheir,] or Longimanus, or in Persian, {Ardsheer
deeraz dest,} "Ardsheer the long-handed;" so called, according
to the Greeks, from the extra-ordinary length of his hands,
but according to the Easterners, from the extent of his
dominions. He ascended the Persian throne, A.M. 3540, B.C.
464, and reigned forty-one years. He is said to have been the
most handsome person of his age, and to have been a prince of
a very mild and generous disposition.
