Describes how Darius arrived at the Artescus River and ordered each soldier to leave a stone, creating great heaps of stones before continuing his march.
Δαρεῖος δὲ ἐνθεῦτεν ὁρμηθεὶς ἀπίκετο ἐπʼ ἄλλον ποταμὸν τῷ οὔνομα1 Ἀρτησκός ἐστι, ὃς διὰ Ὀδρυσέων ῥέει. ἐπὶ τοῦτον δὴ τὸν ποταμὸν ἀπικόμενος ἐποίησε τοιόνδε· ἀποδέξας χωρίον τῇ στρατιῇ ἐκέλευε πάντα ἄνδρα λίθον ἕνα παρεξιόντα2 τιθέναι ἐς τὸ ἀποδεδεγμένον τοῦτο χωρίον. ὡς δὲ ταῦτα ἡ στρατιὴ ἐπετέλεσε, ἐνθαῦτα κολωνοὺς μεγάλους τῶν λίθων καταλιπὼν ἀπήλαυνε τὴν στρατιήν.
Darius, setting out from there, arrived at another river whose name was Artescus, which flows through the land of the Odrysae. Having arrived at this very river, he did as follows: having designated a place for his army, he ordered every man, as he passed by, to lay one stone in this designated place. When the army had accomplished this, he left behind there great heaps of the stones and marched his army away.
