96.
Beginning with the Odrysians, he first called
out the Thracian tribes subject to him between Mounts Haemus and Rhodope and
the Euxine and Hellespont; next the Getae beyond Haemus, and the other hordes settled south of the
Danube in the neighborhood of the Euxine, who, like the Getae, border on the
Scythians and are armed in the same manner, being all mounted archers.
[2]
Besides these he summoned many of the Hill Thracian independent swordsmen,
called Dii and mostly inhabiting Mount Rhodope, some of whom came as
mercenaries, others as volunteers;
[3]
also the Agrianes and Laeaeans, and the rest of the Paeonian tribes in his
empire, at the confines of which these lay, extending up to the Laeaean
Paeonians and the river Strymon, which flows from Mount Scombrus through the
country of the Agrianes and Laeaeans; there the empire of Sitalces ends and the territory of the independent
Paeonians begins.
[4]
Bordering on the Triballi, also independent, were the Treres and
Tilataeans, who dwell to the north of Mount Scombrus and extend towards the
setting sun as far as the river Oskius.
This river rises in the same mountains as the Nestus and Hebrus, a wild and
extensive range connected with Rhodope.
