Describes the number of ships provided by the Cilicians and Pamphylians, their unique armor, and their historical origins and namings.
Κίλικες δὲ ἑκατὸν παρείχοντο νέας. οὗτοι δʼ αὖ περὶ μὲν τῇσι κεφαλῇσι κράνεα ἐπιχώρια,1 λαισήια δὲ εἶχον ἀντʼ ἀσπίδων ὠμοβοέης πεποιημένα, καὶ κιθῶνας εἰρινέους ἐνδεδυκότες· δύο δὲ ἀκόντια ἕκαστος καὶ ξίφος εἶχον, ἀγχοτάτω τῇσι Αἰγυπτίῃσι μαχαίρῃσι πεποιημένα. οὗτοι δὲ τὸ παλαιὸν Ὑπαχαιοὶ ἐκαλέοντο, ἐπὶ δὲ Κίλικος2 τοῦ Ἀγήνορος ἀνδρὸς Φοίνικος ἔσχον τὴν ἐπωνυμίην. Πάμφυλοι δὲ τριήκοντα παρείχοντο νέας Ἑλληνικοῖσι ὅπλοισι ἐσκευασμένοι. οἱ δὲ Πάμφυλοι οὗτοι εἰσὶ τῶν ἐκ Τροίης ἀποσκεδασθέντων3 ἅμα Ἀμφιλόχῳ καὶ Κάλχαντι.
The Cilicians provided one hundred ships. These, in turn, wore native helmets on their heads, and instead of shields they had light shields made of raw ox-hide, and wore woollen tunics; each man had two javelins and a sword made very like the Egyptian daggers. These in ancient times were called Hypachaeans, but they took their name after Cilix, the son of Agenor, a Phoenician. The Pamphylians provided thirty ships, equipped with Greek arms. These Pamphylians are descendants of those who were dispersed from Troy along with Amphilochus and Calchas.

Partitive genitive. Combined with the verb εἰσί, it means 'are of those who' or 'are descendants of those who were dispersed...'
