[5] ἡ δὲ μεγάλη Μηδία τὸ μὲν παλαιὸν τῆς Ἀσίας ἡγήσατο πάσης καταλύσασα τὴν τῶν Σύρων ἀρχήν: ὕστερον δ᾽ ὑπὸ Κύρου καὶ Περσῶν ἀφαιρεθεῖσα τὴν τοσαύτην ἐξουσίαν ἐπὶ Ἀστυάγου διεφύλαττεν ὅμως πολὺ τοῦ πατρίου ἀξιώματος, καὶ ἦν τὰ Ἐκβάτανα χειμάδιον τοῖς Πέρσαις: ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ τοῖς ἐκείνους καταλύσασι Μακεδόσι τοῖς τὴν Συρίαν ἔχουσι, καὶ νῦν ἔτι τοῖς Παρθυαίων βασιλεῦσι τὴν αὐτὴν παρέχεται χρείαν τε καὶ ἀσφάλειαν.
