He ordered the Greeks to form their lines and take their positions
 just as they were accustomed to do for battle, each general
 marshalling his own men. So they formed the line four deep, Menon
 and his troops occupying the right wing, Clearchus and his troops
 the left, and the other generals the centre. Cyrus inspected the barbarians first, and they
 marched past with their cavalry formed in troops and their infantry
 in companies; then he inspected the Greeks, driving past them in a
 chariot, the Cilician queen in a carriage. And the Greeks all had
 helmets of bronze, crimson tunics, and greaves, and carried their
 shields uncovered. When he had driven past them all, he halted his chariot in front of
 the centre of the phalanx, and sending his interpreter Pigres to the
 generals of the Greeks, gave orders that the troops should advance
 arms and the phalanx move forward in a body. The generals
 transmitted these orders to the soldiers, and when the trumpet
 sounded, they advanced arms and charged. And then, as they went on
 faster and faster, at length with a shout the troops broke into a
 run of their own accord, in the direction of the camp. As for the barbarians, they were terribly frightened; the Cilician
 queen took to flight in her carriage, and the people in the
 market Greek troops were not
 supplied with rations in the modern way, but bought their
 provisions from day to day from sutlers who accompanied the
 army. The commander’s duty ended with providing a
 market ( ἀγορὰν
 παρέχειν ). left their wares behind and took
 to their heels; while the Greeks with a roar of laughter came up to
 their camp. Now the Cilician queen was filled with admiration at
 beholding the brilliant appearance and the order of the Greek army;
 and Cyrus was delighted to see the terror with
 which the Greeks inspired the barbarians. Thence he marched three stages, twenty
 parasangs, to Iconium , the
 last city of Phrygia . There
 he remained three days. Thence he marched through Lycaonia five stages, thirty
 parasangs. This country he gave over to the Greeks to plunder, on
 the ground that it was hostile territory. In leaving Phrygia Cyrus was
 passing beyond the limits of his own satrapy. Introd. p.
