From the Avestan passages (cf. Yt. V 22; X 18; X 145), we may infer that dahyu is the basic unit of any ancient Iranian polity. OP. dahyu is likewise the composing or administrative unit of the Persian empire, judging from (1) a Persian royal title “King of dahyus”, (2) such a phrase as “the dahyus which…were my subjects, bore tribute to me” (DB I 18-19), and (3) that certain dahyus had their satrap (DB III 14; 56). Dahyu denotes both “satrapeia” and “tributary”, as the dahyu-lists in the OP. inscrip-tions show apparently.
According to Herodotus, III 89 ff., Darius set up 20 satrapeiai at the beginning of his reign, and then fixed the amount of a tax to each of 20 nomoi. Herodotus seems to have identified 20 satrapeiai with 20 nomoi, and so most of modern scholars. But Persia was a satrapeia, though tax-free and not a nomos. The administrative reorganization and the taxation reform must have occurred not simultaneously but successively, and Sind must have been annexed as the 21st satrapeia and the 20th nomos between or immediately after the two measures Darius took.
