:Hello [[User:Tgeorgescu|Tgeorgescu]],
:The original Hebrew text mentions Koresh [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel+10%3A1&version=CJB| Daniel 10:1], not Cyrus therefore.
:When identifying him as Cyrus the Great this should be proven first before stating it as fact. [[Special:Contributions/94.210.116.247|94.210.116.247]] ([[User talk:94.210.116.247#top|talk]]) 09:25, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello [[User:Tgeorgescu|Tgeorgescu]],
How about mentioning: "Koresh, often identified as Cyrus the Great <with the above reference>", this would make it clear that Cyrus the Great is not what the original text says, thus obeying the neutrality principle.
