Editing Behistun Inscription (section)

==Name==
The name Behistun is derived from usage in Ancient Greek and Arabic sources, particularly [[Diodorus Siculus]] and [[Ya'qubi]], transliterated into English in the 19th century by [[Sir Henry Rawlinson, 1st Baronet|Henry Rawlinson]]. The modern Persian version name is Bisotun.<ref name="King Thompson Budge 1907">{{cite book | last1=King | first1=L.W. | last2=Thompson | first2=R.C. | last3=Budge | first3=E.A.W. | title=The Sculptures and Inscription of Darius the Great: On the Rock of Behistûn in Persia | publisher=British museum | year=1907 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XhpkAAAAMAAJ | page=xi|quote=The name of the Rock is derived from that of the small village of Bîsitûn or Bîsutûn, which lies near its foot. The form of the name "Behistûn" is not used by the modern inhabitants of the country, although it is that by which the Rock is best known among European scholars. The name "Behistûn," more correctly "Bahistûn," was borrowed by the late Major-General Sir Henry Creswicke Rawlinson, Bart., G.C. B., from the Arabic geographer Yakût, who mentions the village and its spring, and describes the Rock as being of great height, and refers to the sculptures upon it. The earliest known name of the Rock is that given by Diodorus Siculus, who calls it τό Βαγίστανον ορος, whence, no doubt, are derived the modern forms of the name.}}</ref>
