While these things were going on, Artabazus, who had revolted from the Persian King, continued the war against the satraps who had been dispatched by the King to take part in the war against him. At first when Chares the Athenian general was fighting with him, Artabazus resisted the satraps courageously, but when Chares1 had gone and he was left alone he induced the Thebans to send him an auxiliary force. Choosing Pammenes2 as general and giving him five thousand soldiers, they dispatched him to Asia.
