[144] for I have striven to forestall just such a complaint, and have recounted the most glorious of his exploits. I do not, however, forget his minor campaigns; I do not forget that Dercylidas,1 with a thousand heavy-armed troops, extended his power over Aeolis; that Draco2 took possession of Atarneus, and afterwards collected an army of three thousand light-armed men, and devastated the plains of Mysia; that Thimbron,3 with a force only a little larger, crossed over into Lydia and plundered the whole country; and that Agesilaus, with the help of the army of Cyrus, conquered almost all the territory this side of the Halys river.4

1 Succeeded Thimbron as commander of the Spartan fleet, 399 B.C. He is said to have taken nine cities in eight days (Xen. Hell. 3.2.1).

2 Appointed harmost of Atarneus by Dercylidas, 398 B.C. (Xen. Hell. 3.2.11).

3 Admiral of Spartan fleet 400 B.C. (Xen. Hell. 3.1.4).

4 The campaign of Agesilaus occurred in 395 B.C. (Xen. Hell. 3.4.20).
