[28]
How many days, asked Cyrus, do you think it would take me with my army to get there?
Sire, Gadatas made reply, your army now is large and you could not reach my residence in less than six or seven days.
Well said Cyrus, do you go as quickly as possible, and I will follow as best I can.

[28] ἐγὼ δʼ, ἔφη ὁ Κῦρος, ποσταῖος ἂν τῷ στρατεύματι ἐκεῖσε ἀφικοίμην; πρὸς τοῦτο δὴ ὁ Γαδάτας λέγει· πολὺ ἤδη, ὦ δέσποτα, ἔχεις τὸ στράτευμα καὶ οὐκ ἂν δύναιο μεῖον ἢ ἐν ἓξ ἢ ἑπτὰ ἡμέραις ἐλθεῖν πρὸς τὴν ἐμὴν οἴκησιν. σὺ μὲν τοίνυν, ἔφη ὁ Κῦρος, ἄπιθι ὡς τάχιστα· ἐγὼ δʼ ὡς ἂν δυνατὸν ᾖ πορεύσομαι.
