Now the Phrygians, as the Macedonians say, used to becalled Brigians during the time that they were natives of Europe anddwelt with the Macedonians; but after they had changed into Asia, withtheir country they changed also their name and were called Phrygians.The Armenians were armed just like the Phrygians, being settlers fromthe Phrygians. Of these two together the commander was Artochmes, whowas married to a daughter of Dareios. 74. The Lydians had arms veryclosely resembling those of the Hellenes. Now the Lydians were in oldtime called Medonians, and they were named again after Lydos the sonof Atys, changing their former name. The Mysians had upon their headsnative helmets, and they bore small shields and used javelins burnt atthe point. These are settlers from the Lydians, and from mount Olymposthey are called Olympienoi. Of the Lydians and Mysians the commanderwas Artaphrenes the son of Artaphrenes, he who invaded Marathontogether with Datis. 75. The Thracians served having fox-skins upontheir heads and tunics about their body, with loose mantles[68] ofvarious colours thrown round over them; and about their feet and lowerpart of the leg they wore boots of deer-skin; and besides this theyhad javelins and round bucklers and small daggers.

Among these men there is an Oracle of Ares. 77. The MeonianCabelians, who are called Lasonians, had the same equipment as theKilikians, and what this was I shall explain when in the course of thecatalogue I come to the array of the Kilikians. The Milyans had shortspears, and their garments were fastened on with buckles; some of themhad Lykian bows, and about their heads they had caps made of leather.Of all these Badres the son of Hystanes was in command. 78. TheMoschoi had wooden caps upon their heads, and shields and smallspears, on which long points were set. The Tibarenians and Macroniansand Mossynoicoi served with equipment like that of the Moschoi, andthese were arrayed together under the following commanders,--theMoschoi and Tibarenians under Ariomardos, who was the son of Dareiosand of Parmys, the daughter of Smerdis son of Cyrus; the Macroniansand Mossynoicoi under Artaÿctes the son of Cherasmis, who was governorof Sestos on the Hellespont. 79.
