and they had small shields of raw ox-hide, and each man
carried two hunting-spears of Lykian workmanship. 74 On their heads they
wore helmets of bronze, and to the helmets the ears and horns of an ox
were attached, in bronze, and upon them also there were crests; and the
lower part of their legs was wrapped round with red-coloured strips of
cloth. Among these men there is an Oracle of Ares.

77. The Meonian Cabelians, who are called Lasonians, had the same
equipment as the Kilikians, and what this was I shall explain when in
the course of the catalogue I come to the array of the Kilikians. The
Milyans had short spears, and their garments were fastened on with
buckles; some of them had Lykian bows, and about their heads they had
caps made of leather. Of all these Badres the son of Hystanes was in
command.

78. The Moschoi had wooden caps upon their heads, and shields and small
spears, on which long points were set. The Tibarenians and Macronians
and Mossynoicoi served with equipment like that of the Moschoi, and
these were arrayed together under the following commanders,--the Moschoi
and Tibarenians under Ariomardos, who was the son of Dareios and
of Parmys, the daughter of Smerdis son of Cyrus; the Macronians and
Mossynoicoi under Artayctes the son of Cherasmis, who was governor of
Sestos on the Hellespont.

79. The Mares wore on their heads native helmets of plaited work, and
had small shields of hide and javelins; and the Colchians wore wooden
helmets about their heads, and had small shields of raw ox-hide and
short spears, and also knives. Of the Mares and Colchians the commander
was Pharandates the son of Teaspis. The Alarodians and Saspeirians
served armed like the Colchians; and of these the commander was
Masistios the son of Siromitres.

80. The island tribes which came with the army from the Erythraian Sea,
belonging to the islands in which the king settles those who are called
the "Removed," 75 had clothing and arms very like those of the Medes. Of
these islanders the commander was Mardontes the son of Bagaios, who in

lost his life in the battle.

81. These were the nations which served in the campaign by land and had
been appointed to be among the foot-soldiers. Of this army those who
have been mentioned were commanders; and they were the men who sit it in
order by divisions and numbered it and appointed commanders of thousands
