[161] Are not Egypt ¹ and Cyprus ² in revolt against him? Have not Phoenicia and Syria ³ been devastated because of the war? Has not Tyre , on which he set great store, been seized by his foes? Of the cities in Cilicia , the greater number are held by those who side with us and the rest are not difficult to acquire. Lycia ⁴ no Persian has ever subdued.

[161] οὐκ Αἴγυπτος μὲν αὐτοῦ καὶ Κύπρος ἀφέστηκε, Φοινίκη δὲ καὶ Συρία διὰ τὸν πόλεμον ἀνάστατοι γεγόνασι, Τύρος δʼ, ἐφʼ ᾗ μέγʼ ἐφρόνησεν, ὑπὸ τῶν ἐχθρῶν τῶν ἐκείνου κατείληπται; τῶν δʼ ἐν Κιλικίᾳ πόλεων τὰς μὲν πλείστας οἱ μεθʼ ἡμῶν ὄντες ἔχουσι, τὰς δʼ οὐ χαλεπόν ἐστι κτήσασθαι. Λυκίας δʼ οὐδεὶς πώποτε Περσῶν ἐκράτησεν.
