While Harpagus subdues the lower parts of Asia, Cyrus himself conquers the upper parts, and the author announces his intention to record the most difficult and noteworthy of these events.
τὰ μέν νυν κάτω τῆς Ἀσίης Ἅρπαγος ἀνάστατα ἐποίεε, τὰ δὲ ἄνω αὐτῆς1 αὐτὸς Κῦρος, πᾶν ἔθνος καταστρεφόμενος καὶ οὐδὲν παριείς. τὰ μέν νυν αὐτῶν πλέω παρήσομεν· τὰ δὲ οἱ2 παρέσχε τε πόνον πλεῖστον καὶ ἀξιαπηγητότατα ἐστί, τούτων ἐπιμνήσομαι.
While Harpagus, then, was laying waste the lower parts of Asia, Cyrus himself subdued the upper parts of it, conquering every nation and passing over none. Now, the greater part of these events I shall pass over; but those which caused him the greatest trouble and are the most worthy of relation, of these I shall make mention.
- 1.177.1τὰ δὲ ἄνω αὐτῆς
The verb phrase from the first clause, ἀνάστατα ἐποίεε (was laying waste), or a verb corresponding to the participle καταστρεφόμενος (such as κατεστρέφετο, was subduing) is understood with the subject αὐτὸς Κῦρος.
- 1.177.1οἱ
The third-person singular dative pronoun, referring here to Cyrus. It functions as the dative object ('to him') of the verb παρέσχε (caused) within the relative clause, rather than being dependent on the main verb ἐπιμνήσομαι.
