Numerous theories, to include poisoning and a malarial relapse, have been proposed as the cause of his death on a June afternoon in the palace of King Nebuchadrezzer II. What is known for certain is that following a banquet and drinking party hosted by his friend,about a week before, he fell seriously ill and took to bed. Despite (or perhaps because of) self-medicating himself with Hellebore, a small plant that was alternately used as a cure-all and a poison, his condition worsened. He lost the ability to move, except for his right arm, and could barely speak. When it became apparent that his death was at hand, his kith n kin filed in to pay their last respects. One asked him to whom he wished to bequeath his lands,to which he replied "Kratisto" (to the strongest) .
