⁵ When these days were completed, the king held a banquet for all the people who were present at the citadel in Susa [the capital], from the greatest [in importance] to the least, a seven-day feast in the courtyard of the garden of the king’s palace. ⁶ There were curtains (draperies) of fine white and violet linen fastened with cords of fine purple linen to silver rings and marble columns. The couches of gold and silver rested on a mosaic floor of ^[a]porphyry, marble, mother-of-pearl, and precious colored stones. ⁷ Drinks were served in various kinds of golden goblets, and the royal wine was plentiful, in accordance with the generosity of the king.
