 * Artaxerxes.
   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.
