ell in the country
along the sea coast of Syria; and this part of Syria and all as far as
Egypt is called Palestine. The Egyptians furnished two hundred ships:
these men had about their heads helmets of plaited work, and they had
hollow shields with the rims large, and spears for sea-fighting, and
large axes: 83 the greater number of them wore corslets, and they had
large knives.

90. These men were thus equipped; and the Cyprians furnished a hundred
and fifty ships, being themselves equipped as follows,--their kings had
their heads wound round with fillets, 84 and the rest had tunics, 85
but in other respects they were like the Hellenes. Among these there
are various races as follows,--some of them are from Salamis and Athens,
others from Arcadia, others from Kythnos, others again from Phenicia and
others from Ethiopia, as the Cyprians themselves report.

91. The Kilikians furnished a hundred ships; and these again had about
their heads native helmets, and for shields they carried targets made of
raw ox-hide: they wore tunics 86 of wool and each man had two javelins
and a sword, this last being made very like the Egyptian knives. These
in old time were called Hypachaians, and they got their later name from
Kilix the son of Agenor, a Phenician. The Pamphylians furnished thirty
ships and were equipped in Hellenic arms. These Pamphylians are of those
who were dispersed from Troy together with Amphilochos and Calchas.

92. The Lykians furnished fifty ships; and they were wearers of corslets
and greaves, and had bows of cornel-wood and arrows of reeds without
feathers and javelins and a goat-skin hanging over their shoulders, and
about their heads felt caps wreathed round with feathers; also they had
daggers and falchions. 87 The Lykians were formerly called Termilai,
being originally of Crete, and they got their later name from Lycos the
son of Pandion, an Athenian.

93. The Dorians of Asia furnished thirty ships; and these had Hellenic
arms and were originally from the Peloponnese. The Carians supplied
seventy ships; and they were equipped in other respects like Hellenes
but they had also falchions and daggers. What was the former name of
these has been told in the first part of the history. 88

94. The Ionians furnished a hundred ships, and were equipped
like Hellenes. Now the Ionians, so long time as they dwelt in the
Peloponnese, in the land which is now called Achaia, and before the
time when Danaos and Xuthos ca
