Achmetha
   (Ezra 6:2), called Ecbatana by classical writers, the capital of
   northern Media. Here was the palace which was the residence of
   the old Median monarchs, and of Cyrus and Cambyses. In the time
   of Ezra, the Persian kings resided usually at Susa of Babylon.
   But Cyrus held his court at Achmetha; and Ezra, writing a
   century after, correctly mentions the place where the decree of
   Cyrus was found.
