[19] στρατεύονται δὲ καὶ ἄρχουσιν ἀπὸ εἴκοσιν ἐτῶν ἕως πεντήκοντα πεζοί τε καὶ ἱππεῖς: ἀγορᾶς δὲ οὐχ ἅπτονται: οὔτε γὰρ πωλοῦσιν οὔτ᾽ ὠνοῦνται. ὁπλίζονται δὲ γέρρῳ ῥομβοειδεῖ, παρὰ δὲ τὰς φαρέτρας σαγάρεις ἔχουσι καὶ κοπίδας, περὶ δὲ τῇ κεφαλῇ [p. 1024] πίλημα πυργωτόν, θώραξ δ᾽ ἐστὶν αὐτοῖς φολιδωτός. ἐσθὴς δὲ τοῖς ἡγεμόσι μὲν ἀναξυρὶς τριπλῆ, χιτὼν δὲ χειριδωτὸς διπλοῦς ἕως γόνατος, ὁ ὑπενδύτης μὲν λευκός, ἄνθινος δ᾽ ὁ ἐπάνω: ἱμάτιον δὲ θέρους μὲν πορφυροῦν ἢ ἰάνθινον, χειμῶνος δ᾽ ἄνθινον, τιᾶραι παραπλήσιαι ταῖς τῶν Μάγων, ὑπόδημα κοῖλον διπλοῦν, τοῖς δὲ πολλοῖς χιτὼν ἕως μεσοκνημίου1 διπλοῦς, ῥάκος δὲ σινδόνιόν τι περὶ τῇ κεφαλῇ: ἔχει δ᾽ ἕκαστος τόξον καὶ σφενδόνην. δειπνοῦσι δὲ πολυτελῶς Πέρσαι τιθέντες καὶ ὁλομελῆ καὶ πολλὰ καὶ ποικίλα: κόσμος τε λαμπρὸς στρωμνῆς ἐκπωμάτων τε καὶ τῶν ἄλλων ὥστε χρυσῷ καὶ ἀργύρῳ καταλάμπεσθαι.
