§2.1.1τελευτήσαντος δὲ Κύρου παρέλαβε τὴν βασιληίην Καμβύσης, Κύρου ἐὼν παῖς καὶ Κασσανδάνης τῆς Φαρνάσπεω θυγατρός, τῆς προαποθανούσης Κῦρος αὐτός τε μέγα πένθος ἐποιήσατο καὶ τοῖσι ἄλλοισι προεῖπε πᾶσι τῶν ἦρχε πένθος ποιέεσθαι.
When Cyrus had died, Cambyses succeeded to the kingship, being the son of Cyrus and of Cassandane the daughter of Pharnaspes, for whom, when she died before him, Cyrus himself observed great mourning and also commanded all the others whom he ruled to observe mourning.
§2.1.2ταύτης δὴ τῆς γυναικὸς ἐὼν παῖς καὶ Κύρου Καμβύσης Ἴωνας μὲν καὶ Αἰολέας ὡς δούλους πατρωίους ἐόντας ἐνόμιζε, ἐπὶ δὲ Αἴγυπτον ἐποιέετο στρατηλασίην ἄλλους τε παραλαβὼν τῶν ἦρχε καὶ δὴ καὶ Ἑλλήνων τῶν ἐπεκράτεε.
Cambyses, being the son of this woman and of Cyrus, regarded the Ionians and Aeolians as hereditary slaves, and made an expedition against Egypt, taking with him both others of those whom he ruled and especially those of the Greeks whom he held in subjection.
