::I started a justification last night but gave it up.  I will just say again that the cylinder itself does not "indicate[s] that Cyrus sought to acquire the loyalty" ... that is Winn Leith's characterisation (interpretation) of Cyrus' motives, not necessarily his motives ... and not at all clear in the way it is written.  Why do we go on to confuse a reader with the idea that something on the ground is "unclear"? And if it is disputed, as per Nepaheshgar, (as well as unclear) why put it in at all?  What does "on the ground" actually have to do with the "interpretation" of the cylinder?  This raises more questions than it answers.
