According to Darius in his inscription:

{{quote|King Darius says: After I had slain Gaumâta, the Magian, a certain man named ššina, the son of Upadarma, raised a rebellion in Elam, and he spoke thus unto the people of Elam: 'I am king in Elam.' Thereupon the people of Elam became rebellious, and they went over unto that ššina: he became king in Elam. And a certain Babylonian named Nidintu-Bêl, the son of Kîn-Zêr, raised a rebellion in Babylon: he lied to the people, saying: 'I am Nebuchadnezzar, the son of Nabonidus.' Then did all the province of Babylonia go over to Nidintu-Bêl, and Babylonia rose in rebellion. He seized on the kingdom of Babylonia.

King Darius says: Then I sent (an envoy?) to Elam. That ššina was brought unto me in fetters, and I killed him.|Behistun inscription{{cite book |last1=Kuhrt |first1=Amélie |title=The Persian Empire: A Corpus of Sources from the Achaemenid Period |date=2013 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=9781136016943 |page=144 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=bb7eH1LHRcAC&pg=PA144 |language=en}}}}
