Describes that the Utians, Mycians, and Paricanians were equipped like the Pactyes, and identifies their commanders as Arsamenes son of Darius, and Siromitres son of Oeobazus.
Οὔτιοι δὲ καὶ Μύκοι τε καὶ Παρικάνιοι ἐσκευασμένοι ἦσαν κατά περ Πάκτυες.1 τούτων δὲ ἦρχον οἵδε,2 Οὐτίων μὲν καὶ Μύκων Ἀρσαμένης ὁ Δαρείου, Παρικανίων δὲ Σιρομίτρης ὁ Οἰοβάζου.
The Utians, the Mycians, and the Paricanians were equipped just like the Pactyes. These were commanded by the following: Arsamenes son of Darius commanded the Utians and the Mycians, and Siromitres son of Oeobazus commanded the Paricanians.
- 7.68.1κατά περ Πάκτυες
The conjunction κατά περ (κατάπερ) is followed by the nominative noun Πάκτυες. This is a comparative construction with the ellipsis of the verb (ἐσκευασμένοι ἦσαν), equivalent to 'just as the Pactyes [were equipped].'
- 7.68.1τούτων δὲ ἦρχον οἵδε
The verb ἦρχον (third-person plural) agrees with the multiple subjects (Arsamenes and Siromitres) introduced by οἵδε. In the subsequent clauses marked by μὲν... δὲ..., a singular verb ἦρχε is understood to be omitted for each singular subject.
