§14.19.1τοῦ δʼ ἔτους τούτου διεληλυθότος Ἀθήνησι μὲν ἦν ἄρχων Ἐξαίνετος, ἐν Ῥώμῃ δὲ τὴν ὑπατικὴν ἀρχὴν παρέλαβον χιλίαρχοι ἕξ, Πόπλιος Κορνήλιος, Καίσων Φάβιος, Σπόριος Ναύτιος, Γάιος Οὐαλέριος, Μάνιος Σέργιος.
When this year had passed, in Athens Exaenetus was archon, and in Rome six military tribunes with consular power assumed the consular office: Publius Cornelius, Kaeso Fabius, Spurius Nautius, Gaius Valerius, and Manius Sergius.
§14.19.2περὶ δὲ τούτους τοὺς χρόνους Κῦρος ὁ τῶν ἐπὶ θαλάττης σατραπειῶν ἡγούμενος διενοεῖτο μὲν πάλαι στρατεύειν ἐπὶ τὸν ἀδελφὸν Ἀρταξέρξην· ἦν γὰρ ὁ νεανίσκος φρονήματος πλήρης καὶ προθυμίαν ἔχων οὐκ ἄπρακτον εἰς τοὺς κατὰ πόλεμον ἀγῶνας.
About this time, Cyrus, the commander of the satrapies on the sea, had long been planning to campaign against his brother Artaxerxes; for the young man was full of high spirit and possessed an eagerness for the struggles of war that was by no means ineffective.
§14.19.3ἐπεὶ δʼ αὐτῷ μισθοφόρων πλῆθος ἱκανὸν συνῆκτο καὶ τὰ πρὸς τὴν στρατείαν εὐτρέπιστο, τοῖς μὲν πλήθεσιν οὐκ ἐδήλου τἀληθές, ἔφασκε δʼ εἰς Κιλικίαν ἀνάγειν τὴν δύναμιν ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀφεστηκότας τοῦ βασιλέως τυράννους.
When a sufficient multitude of mercenaries had been gathered by him and the preparations for the campaign were ready, he did not reveal the truth to the multitude, but claimed that he was leading the army up into Cilicia against the tyrants who had revolted from the King.
§14.19.4ἀπέστειλε δὲ καὶ πρὸς Λακεδαιμονίουσπρεσβευτὰς τοὺς ἀνανεωσομένους τὰς κατὰ τὸν πρὸς Ἀθηναίους πόλεμον εὐεργεσίας καὶ παρακαλέσοντας ἑαυτῷ συμμαχεῖν.
He also dispatched envoys to the Lacedaemonians to renew the favors of the war against the Athenians and to exhort them to ally with him.
οἱ δὲ Λακεδαιμόνιοι, νομίσαντες αὑτοῖς συνοίσειν τὸν πόλεμον, ἔγνωσαν τῷ Κύρῳ βοηθεῖν, καὶ παραχρῆμα ἐξέπεμψαν πρεσβευτὰς πρὸς τὸν ἑαυτῶν ναύαρχον Σάμον ὀνομαζόμενον, ὅπως ὅ,τι ἂν κελεύῃ ὁ Κῦρος πράττῃ.
The Lacedaemonians, thinking that the war would be to their advantage, decided to assist Cyrus, and immediately sent envoys to their own admiral, named Samos, in order that he might do whatever Cyrus should command.
§14.19.5ὁ δὲ Σάμος εἶχε μὲν τριήρεις εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε, μεθʼ ὧν πλεύσας εἰς Ἔφεσον πρὸς τὸν Κύρου ναύαρχον ἕτοιμος ἦν αὐτῷ πάντα συμπράττειν.
And Samos had twenty-five triremes, with which having sailed to Ephesus to the admiral of Cyrus, he was ready to cooperate with him in all things.
ἐξέπεμψαν δὲ καὶ πεζοὺς στρατιώτας ὀκτακοσίους, ἡγεμόνα Χειρίσοφον καταστήσαντες.
They also sent eight hundred foot-soldiers, having appointed Cheirisophus as commander.
ἀφηγεῖτο δὲ τοῦ βαρβαρικοῦ στόλου Ταμώς, ἔχων τριήρεις πεντήκοντα πολυτελῶς ἐξηρτυμένας· καὶ καταπλευσάντων τῶν Λακεδαιμονίων ἀνήχθησαν οἱ στόλοι τὸν πλοῦν ὡς ἐπὶ Κιλικίας ποιούμενοι.
And Tamos led the barbarian fleet, having fifty triremes sumptuously equipped; and when the Lacedaemonians had sailed into port, the fleets put to sea, making their voyage as if toward Cilicia.
§14.19.6Κῦρος δὲ τούς τε ἀπὸ τῆς Ἀσίας στρατολογηθέντας καὶ μισθοφόρους μυρίους τρισχιλίους ἀθροίσας εἰς Σάρδεις, Λυδίας μὲν καὶ Φρυγίας κατέστησεν ἐπιμελητὰς Πέρσας ἑαυτοῦ συγγενεῖς, Ἰωνίας δὲ καὶ τῆς Αἰολίδος, ἔτι δὲ τῶν σύνεγγυς τόπων Ταμώ, φίλον μὲν ὄντα πιστόν, τὸ δὲ γένος ὑπάρχοντα Μεμφίτην· αὐτὸς δὲ μετὰ τῆς δυνάμεως προῆγεν ὡς ἐπὶ τῆς Κιλικίας καὶ Πισιδίας, διαδιδοὺς λόγον ὅτι τινὲς τῶν ἐκεῖ κατοικούντων ἀφεστήκασιν.
Cyrus, having gathered at Sardis those recruited from Asia and thirteen thousand mercenaries, appointed Persians who were his own relatives as overseers of Lydia and Phrygia, and of Ionia and Aeolis, and also of the neighboring places, Tamos, who was a faithful friend and by birth a Memphite; and he himself with his force advanced as if toward Cilicia and Pisidia, spreading a report that some of those dwelling there had revolted.
§14.19.7εἶχε δὲ τοὺς ἅπαντας ἀπὸ μὲν τῆς Ἀσίας ἑπτακισμυρίους, ὧν ἦσαν ἱππεῖς τρισχίλιοι, ἀπὸ δὲ Πελοποννήσου καὶ τῆς ἄλλης Ἑλλάδος μισθοφόρους μυρίους τρισχιλίους.
And he had in all seventy thousand from Asia, of whom three thousand were cavalry, and thirteen thousand mercenaries from the Peloponnese and the rest of Greece.
§14.19.8ἡγεῖτο δὲ τῶν μὲν ἀπὸ Πελοποννήσου χωρὶς Ἀχαιῶν Κλέαρχος ὁ Λακεδαιμόνιος, τῶν δʼ ἀπὸ Βοιωτίας Πρόξενος Θηβαῖος, τῶν δʼ Ἀχαιῶν Σωκράτης Ἀχαιός, τῶν δʼ ἀπὸ Θεσσαλίας Μένων ὁ Λαρισσαῖος.
And Clearchus the Lacedaemonian led those from the Peloponnese except the Achaeans, and Proxenus the Theban led those from Boeotia, and Socrates the Achaean led the Achaeans, and Menon of Larissa led those from Thessaly.
§14.19.9τῶν δὲ βαρβάρων τὰς μὲν κατὰ λεπτὸν ἡγεμονίας εἶχον Πέρσαι, τῶν δὲ συμπάντων αὐτὸς ἡγεῖτο Κῦρος, ὃς τοῖς μὲν ἡγεμόσιν ἐδεδηλώκει τὴν ἐπὶ τὸν ἀδελφὸν ἀνάβασιν, τὸ δὲ πλῆθος ἔκρυπτεν, εὐλαβούμενος μήποτε διὰ τὸ μέγεθος τῆς στρατείας ἐγκαταλίπῃ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ προαίρεσιν.
Of the barbarians, Persians held the individual commands, but Cyrus himself led the whole force, who had revealed to the commanders the march against his brother, but concealed it from the multitude, guarding lest they, because of the magnitude of the campaign, should abandon his purpose.
διὸ καὶ κατὰ τὴν ὁδοιπορίαν προορώμενος τὸ μέλλον ἐξεθεράπευσε τοὺς στρατιώτας, κοινὸν ἑαυτὸν παρεχόμενος καὶ δαψιλεῖς ἀγορὰς ἑτοιμάζων.
Therefore, also during the journey, looking forward to the future, he courted the soldiers, making himself common to all and preparing abundant markets.
