It's not Koine Greek, it's Attic Greek - some 500 years older. But yes, you are of course absolutely right in saying that the pronunciation of the language has changed (eg the letter "beta" is pronounced "v", not "b", in modern Greek).
The fundamental point I was making, though, is that the "i" in the name "Darius" is a long vowel, not a short one.
