πολυαργυρώτατοι: rich, not in silver but in money, a sense common in compounds, though rare for ἄργυρος itself (cf. ii. 121 α). Both Croesus (i. 69; vi. 125) and Pythius (vii. 28) were rich in gold, since the Pactolus brought down gold-dust from Mount Tmolus (i. 93. 1; v. 101). The mines there and on Mount Sipylus furnished electrum also (cf. i. 50-52 n.).

πολυπροβατώτατοι: cf. Strab. 568, 578; Arist. Av. 493; and now Angora wool.

πολυκαρπότατοι: especially in vines. Cf. Il. iii. 184Φρυγίην εἰσήλυθον ἀμπελόεσσαν”.

For Cappadocians cf. i. 72 n.; vii. 72, and for the Cilician tribute iii. 90. 3.

For Matieni cf. 52. 5; i. 72 n., 189. 1, and for Cissia iii. 91. 4; vi. 119.
