And when the Medes and the Persians and the rest saw that, for they were all concerned to see what the outcome would be, they were satisfied and glad. Then Cyrus and Cyaxares mounted their horses and led the way, and the Medes followed after Cyaxares (for Cyrus gave them a nod so to do), the Persians fell in behind Cyrus, and the rest behind them.

ὡς δὲ εἶδον οἱ Μῆδοί τε καὶ οἱ Πέρσαι καὶ οἱ ἄλλοι ʽπᾶσι γὰρ ἔμελεν ὅ τι ἐκ τούτων ἔσοιτὀ, εὐθὺς ἥσθησάν τε καὶ ἐφαιδρύνθησαν. καὶ ὁ Κῦρος δὲ καὶ ὁ Κυαξάρης ἀναβάντες ἐπὶ τοὺς ἵππους ἡγοῦντο, καὶ ἐπὶ μὲν τῷ Κυαξάρῃ οἱ Μῆδοι εἵποντο ʽΚῦρος γὰρ αὐτοῖς οὕτως ἐπένευσεν̓, ἐπὶ δὲ τῷ Κύρῳ οἱ Πέρσαι, οἱ δʼ ἄλλοι ἐπὶ τούτοις.
