The above lists clearly illustrate the multiethnicity of the Achaemenid Empire.
Next to these lists of subject lands, there is the foundation chart of Susa (DSf). This text is a record of the building of a palace in the royal capital Susa. Darius mentions various regions from where the building material came and several people who supplied artisans engaged in the processing of these materials.
