At the
time under consideration, after the surrender of Bubastus, the remaining cities,
terror-stricken, were delivered to the Persians by capitulation. But King Nectanebos, while
still tarrying in Memphis and perceiving the trend of the cities toward betrayal, did not dare
risk battles for his dominion. So giving up hope of his kingship and taking with him the
greater part of his possessions, he fled into Aethiopia.

Artaxerxes, after taking over all Egypt and demolishing the walls of the most important
cities, by plundering the shrines gathered a vast quantity of silver and gold, and he carried
off the inscribed records from the ancient temples, which later on Bagoas returned to the
Egyptian priests on the payment of huge sums by way of ransom.
[3]
Then when he had rewarded the Greeks who had accompanied him on the campaign with lavish
gifts, each according to his deserts, he dismissed them to their native lands; and, having
installed Pherendates as satrap of Egypt, he returned with his army to Babylon, bearing many
possessions and spoils and having won great renown by his successes.
