Describes the equipment and origins of the Phrygians and Armenians, noting that Artochmes, Darius' son-in-law, commanded both groups.
Φρύγες δὲ ἀγχοτάτω τῆς Παφλαγονικῆς1 σκευὴν εἶχον, ὀλίγον παραλλάσσοντες. οἱ δὲ Φρύγες, ὡς Μακεδόνες λέγουσι, ἐκαλέοντο Βρίγες χρόνον ὅσον Εὐρωπήιοι ἐόντες σύνοικοι ἦσαν Μακεδόσι, μεταβάντες δὲ ἐς τὴν Ἀσίην ἅμα τῇ χώρῃ καὶ τὸ οὔνομα μετέβαλον ἐς Φρύγας. Ἀρμένιοι δὲ κατά περ Φρύγες ἐσεσάχατο,2 ἐόντες Φρυγῶν ἄποικοι. τούτων συναμφοτέρων ἦρχε Ἀρτόχμης Δαρείου ἔχων θυγατέρα.3
The Phrygians had equipment very close to the Paphlagonian, differing only slightly. These Phrygians, as the Macedonians say, were called Briges for as long a time as they were in Europe and lived together with the Macedonians, but having migrated to Asia, they changed their name along with their country to Phrygians. The Armenians were equipped just like the Phrygians, being colonists of the Phrygians. Of both of these together, Artochmes, who had a daughter of Darius as his wife, was in command.
- 7.73.1τῆς Παφλαγονικῆς
The feminine genitive singular adjective implies the noun σκευῆς (corresponding to the preceding σκευήν), meaning '[the equipment] of the Paphlagonians'.
- 7.73.1ἐσεσάχατο
The third-person plural pluperfect passive in the Ionic dialect of the verb σάττω (to equip, arm), equivalent to Attic σεσαγμένοι ἦσαν.
- 7.73.1Δαρείου ἔχων θυγατέρα
The present participle ἔχων is used in the sense of 'having (as a wife),' meaning 'having a daughter of Darius as his wife.'
