Xenias, then, arrived at Sardis with the troops from the cities, who were hoplites to the number of four thousand; ProxeSardis with the troops from the cities, who were hoplites to the number of four thousand; Proxenus was there with hoplites to the number of fifteen hundred, and five hundred light-armed troops; Sophaenetus the Stymphalian with a thousand hoplites; Socrates the Achaean with about five hundred hoplites; and Pasion the Megarian arrived with threest-named, and Socrates also, belonged to the force that had been engaged in besieging Miletus.

It was in this way, then, that Xenophon came to go on the expedition, quite deceived about its purpose—not, however, by Proxenus, for he did not know that the at
