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
Europe via the

Albinus. During this year, in Asia Artabazus and Megabyzus, who had been dispatched to the war
against the Egyptians, set out from Persia with more
than three hundred thousand soldiers, counting both cavalry and infantry. When they arrived in Cilicia
and Phoenicia, they rested their land forces after the
journey and commanded the Cyprians and Phoenicians and Cilicians to supply ships. And when
three hundred triremes had been made ready, they fitted them out with the ablest marines and
arms and missiles and everything else that is useful in naval warfare. So these leaders were busy with their preparations and with giving their
soldiers training and accustoming every man to the practice of warfare, and they spent almost
this entire year in this way. Meanwhile the Athenians in
Egypt were besieging the troops which had taken
460 B.C.When Phrasicleides was archon in Athens, the Eightieth Olympiad was celebrated, that in which
Toryllas the Thessalian won the "stadion"; and the Romans elected as consuls Quintus Fabius and
Titus Quinctius Capitolinus. During this year, in Asia
the Persian generals who had passed over to Cilicia
made ready three hundred ships, which they fitted out fully for warfare, and then with their
land force they advanced overland through Syria and
Phoenicia; and with the fleet accompanying the army
along the coast, they arrived at Memphis in Egypt. At the outset they broke
the siege of the White Fortress, having struck the Egyptians and the Athenians with terror; but
later on, adopting a prudent course, they avoided any frontal encounters and strove to bring
the war to an end by the use of stratagems. Accordingly, since the Attic ships lay moored at
the island known as Prosopitis, they diverted by means of canals the river which fl
