Xerxes, vying with the zeal displayed by the Carthaginians,
surpassed them in all his preparations to the degree that he excelled the Carthaginians in the
multitude of peoples at his command. And he began to have ships built throughout all the
territory along the sea that was subject to him, both Egypt and Phoenicia and Cyprus, Cilicia and
Pamphylia and Pisidia, and also Lycia, Caria, Mysia, the
Troad, and the cities on the Hellespont, and Bithynia, and Pontus. Spending a period
of three years, as did the Carthaginians, on his preparations, he made ready more than twelve
hundred warships. He was aided in this by his father Darius,
who before his death had made preparations of great armaments; for Darius, after Datis, his
general, had been defeated by the Athenians at Marathon, had continued to be angry with the
Athenians for having won that battle. But Darius, when already about to cross overi.e. from Asia into

Persian land army, which was then encamped on the bank of the Eurymedon River.In Pisidia, at least 125 miles from Cyprus. And wishing to overcome the barbarians by a stratagem, he manned
the captured Persian ships with his own best men, giving them tiaras for their heads and
clothing them in the Persian fashion generally. The
barbarians, so soon as the flee ge of his plans might occur.
And when the soldiers had all been gathered at the torch and
had stopped plundering, for the time being they withdrew to the ships, and on the following day
they set up a trophy and then sailed back to Cyprus,
having won two glorious victories, the one on land and the other on the sea; for not to this
