The captive Milesians were led to Susa and settled by King Darius in the city of Ampe on the Red Sea. The territory of Miletus was divided between the Persians themselves and the Carians of Pedasa.
ἐνθεῦτεν οἱ ζωγρηθέντες τῶν Μιλησίων ἤγοντο ἐς Σοῦσα. βασιλεὺς δὲ σφέας Δαρεῖος κακὸν οὐδὲν ἄλλο ποιήσας κατοίκισε ἐπὶ τῇ Ἐρυθρῇ καλεομένῃ θαλάσσῃ ἐν Ἄμπῃ πόλι, παρʼ ἣν Τίγρης ποταμὸς παραρρέων ἐς θάλασσαν ἐξιεῖ.1 τῆς δὲ Μιλησίων χώρης2 αὐτοὶ μὲν οἱ Πέρσαι εἶχον τὰ περὶ τὴν πόλιν καὶ τὸ πεδίον, τὰ δὲ ὑπεράκρια ἔδοσαν Καρσὶ Πηδασεῦσι ἐκτῆσθαι.3
From there, those of the Milesians who had been taken alive were led to Susa. And King Darius, doing them no other harm, settled them by the so-called Red Sea in the city of Ampe, past which the river Tigris flows as it empties into the sea. Of the territory of the Milesians, the Persians themselves held the parts around the city and the plain, while they gave the mountainous parts to the Carians of Pedasa to possess.
