Notes on the current edition

Anabasis

1. The Attic mina was equivalent (but see note on Xen. Anab. 1.1.9 ) to about 3 1 5s. or $18.00; Cyrus probably means here the Persian mina, which was worth about one-fourth more than the Attic.
2. Mercenaries were usually expected to make their own way home after a campaign had ended and did not receive pay for the time consumed by the homeward journey.
