介绍（中）	这枚玉髓圆柱形印章在底部被折断，上面有波斯国王用矛刺击被击败的敌人的形象。正如现代印章的印象所示，国王朝右。他穿着一件宽大的喇叭袖子和凹槽王冠的长袍。他肩上扛着弓箭和箭袋。他抓住另一个人的胳膊，用长矛从上面刺伤他。只有受害者的头部和肩膀幸存下来。他刮得很干净，戴着埃及国王戴的双冠，尽管王冠的背面凸起和乌拉乌斯是复制的。国王身后是一排被捆绑的囚犯，他们也被绑在脖子上。囚犯剃得很干净，穿着带图案的长袍。一棵枣椰树上挂着垂下的果实，在囚犯和国王的受害者之间的终端田地里。这枚印章的内容让人想起大流士一世在比西顿的著名浮雕。浮雕显示大流士在九位被击败的叛军国王面前，他们被绑在脖子上。浮雕是为了纪念大流士在位的第一年，即公元前522-1年，各种反叛的失败。随附的铭文将埃及列为叛乱的地方之一，但浮雕上没有描绘埃及国王。然而，这枚印章上的国王受害者剃得很干净，戴着埃及王冠的版本，这表明他可能是被击败的埃及叛军，现在被确定为佩图巴斯蒂斯四世。也有可能他代表后来的埃及叛军，或者他象征着更普遍的埃及征服。
介绍（英）	This chalcedony cylinder seal, which is broken off at the bottom, features an image of the Persian king spearing a defeated enemy. As shown in the modern impression of the seal, the king faces right. He wears a robe with wide, flaring sleeves and a fluted crown. He carries a bow and a quiver of arrows over his shoulder. He grasps another man by the arm and stabs him from above with a spear. Only the head and shoulders of the victim survive. He is clean shaven and wears a version of the double crown worn by Egyptian kings, albeit with the raised back of the crown and uraeus duplicated. Behind the king is a row of bound prisoners who are also tied to each other by the neck. The prisoners are clean shaven and wear patterned robes. A date palm with pendulous fruit is in the terminal field between the prisoners and the king’s victim. The content of this seal is reminiscent of the famous relief of Darius I at Bisitun. The relief shows Darius in front of nine defeated rebel kings, who are bound and tied together by the neck. The relief commemorates the defeat of the various rebellions against Darius during the first year of his reign, in 522-1 B.C. The accompanying inscription lists Egypt among the places that rebelled, but an Egyptian king is not depicted on the relief. The king’s victim on this seal, however, is clean shaven and wears a version of an Egyptian royal crown, suggesting perhaps that he is the defeated Egyptian rebel, now identified as Petubastis IV. It is also possible that he is meant to represent a later Egyptian rebel, or that he symbolize the subjugation of Egypt more generally.
