resolved that debtors should pay their debts into the treasury, and that the
state should meet the creditors' interest out of its revenues until its former
prosperity returned. Mausolus lord of Caria received from the King of PersiaProbably Artaxerxes II.

B.C. a demand for tribute. Therefore he summoned the wealthiest men in
his dominion, and told them that the King was asking for the tribute, and he had
not the means of paying it. Men whom he had previously suborned at once came
forward and declared what each was ready to contribute. With this example before
them, they who were wealthier than these, partly in shame and partly in alarm,
promised and paid much larger sums than the others.Being again in lack of funds, Mausolus summoned a public meeting of

that the respite which the peace affords is more productive of advantages than

But if the

island would be of no use to him at present-which is true enough—but
might serve as a fortress to overawe Caria and check any move on her part. Therefore I think she
would rather that you had the island, if not too obviously surrendered by her,
than that he should get it. I do not, indeed, expect that she will send any help

Demosthenes, Against Midias, section 175 (search)
Now I propose,
men of Athens, to name those who
have been condemned by you, after an adverse vote of the Assembly, for violating
the festival, and to explain what some of them had done to incur your anger, so
that you may compare their guilt with that of Meidias. First of all then, to

Euandrus of Thespiae for profanation of
the Mysteries on the charge of Menippus, a fellow from Caria. The law concerning the Mysteries is
identical with that concerning the Dionysia, and it was enacted later.
Xerxes, vying with the zeal displayed by the Carthaginians,
surpassed them in all his preparations to the degree that he excelled the Carthaginians in the
multitude of peoples at his command. And he began to have ships built throughout all the
territory along the sea that was subject to him, both Egypt and Phoenicia and Cyprus, Cilicia and
Pamphylia and Pisidia, and also Lycia, Caria, Mysia, the
Troad, and the cities on the Hellespont, and Bithynia, and Pontus. Spending a period
of three years, as did the Carthaginians, on his preparations, he made ready more than twelve
hundred warships. He was aided in this by his father Darius,
who before his death had made preparations of great armaments; for Darius, after Datis, his
general, had been defeated by the Athenians at Marathon, had continued to be angry with the
Athenians for having won that battle. But Darius, when already about to cross overi.e. from Asia into
