The author lists the names of the most prominent leaders and notable individuals sailing in the Persian fleet, ranking next in importance after the chief commanders.
τῶν δὲ ἐπιπλεόντων1 μετά γε τοὺς στρατηγοὺς2 οἵδε ἦσαν ὀνομαστότατοι, Σιδώνιος Τετράμνηστος Ἀνύσου, καὶ Τύριος Ματτὴν Σιρώμου, καὶ Ἀράδιος Μέρβαλος Ἀγβάλου, καὶ Κίλιξ Συέννεσις Ὠρομέδοντος, καὶ Λύκιος Κυβερνίσκος Σίκα, καὶ Κύπριοι Γόργος τε ὁ Χέρσιος καὶ Τιμῶναξ ὁ Τιμαγόρεω, καὶ Καρῶν Ἱστιαῖός τε ὁ Τύμνεω καὶ Πίγρης ὁ Ὑσσελδώμου, καὶ Δαμασίθυμος ὁ Κανδαύλεω.
Of those who sailed in the fleet, the most famous, next to the commanders, were these: Tetramnestus, son of Anysus, of Sidon; Matten, son of Siromus, of Tyre; Merbalus, son of Agbalus, of Aradus; Syennesis, son of Oromedon, of Cilicia; Cyberniscus, son of Sicas, of Lycia; and of the Cyprians, Gorgus, son of Chersis, and Timonax, son of Timagoras; and of the Carians, Histiaeus, son of Tymnes, and Pigres, son of Hysseldomus; and Damasithymus, son of Candaules.
- 7.98.1τῶν δὲ ἐπιπλεόντων
The present participle ἐπιπλεόντων refers to 'those who sailed in the fleet', and the genitive case functions as a partitive genitive qualifying the superlative adjective ὀνομαστότατοι.
- 7.98.1μετά γε τοὺς στρατηγοὺς
The preposition μετά with the accusative indicates rank or order of importance ('next after', 'second only to'), rather than spatial or temporal succession. The particle γε adds a limiting emphasis, implying 'at least after the generals'.
