Describing the equipment of the Cabelees (Lasonians) as identical to that of the Cilicians, and outlining the armament of the Milyae under the command of Badres, son of Hystanes.
Καβηλέες δὲ οἱ Μηίονες, Λασόνιοι δὲ καλεύμενοι, τὴν αὐτὴν Κίλιξι1 εἶχον σκευήν, τὴν ἐγώ, ἐπεὰν κατὰ τὴν Κιλίκων τάξιν διεξιὼν γένωμαι, τότε σημανέω.2 Μιλύαι δὲ αἰχμάς τε βραχέας εἶχον καὶ εἵματα ἐνεπεπορπέατο·3 εἶχον δὲ αὐτῶν τόξα μετεξέτεροι Λύκια, περὶ δὲ τῇσι κεφαλῇσι ἐκ διφθερέων πεποιημένας κυνέας. τούτων πάντων ἦρχε Βάδρης ὁ Ὑστάνεος.
The Cabelees, who are Maeonians and are called Lasonians, had the same equipment as the Cilicians; this I shall describe when in the course of my catalogue I come to the array of the Cilicians. The Milyae had short spears and their garments were fastened with brooches; some of them also had Lycian bows, and on their heads helmets made of leather. Over all these Badres the son of Hystanes was commander.

Future active indicative of σημαίνω, showing the uncontracted Ionic form corresponding to the Attic σημανῶ.
- 7.77.1ἐνεπεπορπέατο
Third-person plural pluperfect indicative passive of the verb ἐμπορπάω ("to pin/fasten"). It features the Ionic ending -ατο instead of the Attic -ντο.
