Magoek konbentzitu balute bezala, Prexaspesek hori egingo zuela hitz eman ondoren, bigarren proposamen bat egin zioten, beraiek persiar guztiak erregearen gaztelupera deituko zituztela esanez; hari, berriz, dorrera igo eta aldarrika zezala eskatu zioten Smerdis Zyrorenaz beste inork ez ziela agintzen.
