His elder son Arukku (< *Ariy-uka) was reportedly sent to Assyria to pay tribute to its King.

His suggested identification with Cyrus would help connect the Achaemenid dynasty to the major events of the 7th century BC.

This was effectively the end of the Neo-Assyrian Empire though remnants of the Assyrian Army under Ashur-uballit II (612–609 BC) continued to resist from Harran.

Cyrus is considered to have ended his days under the overlordship of either Cyaxares or his son Astyages (584–550 BC).

It has been noted that this account of his life and reign would place his early activities more than a century before those of his grandson.

Due to the current lack of sufficient records for this historical period it remains uncertain which theory is closer to the facts.

Later, when the iron clamps were studied, it became clear that this building was erected in the 5th century BC, so it may have been for prince Cyrus the Younger.
