    Original Text :καί λαβὼν παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ χιλίους ἱππεῖς καί δισχιλίους πελταστὰς αὖθις ἀνεχώρησεν εἰς Φρυγίαν, καί κακῶς ἐποίει τὴν Φαρναβάζου χώραν οὐχ ὑπομένοντος οὐδὲ πιστεύοντος τοῖς ἐρύμασιν, ἀλλὰ ἔχων ἀεὶ τὰ πλεῖστα σὺν ἑαυτῷ τῶν τιμίων καί ἀγαπητῶν ἐξεχώρει καί ὑπέφευγεν ἄλλοτε ἀλλαχόσε τῆς χώρας μεθιδρυόμενος
     
    Translation :and then receiving from him a thousand horsemen and two thousand targeteers, he retired again into Phrygia, and harassed the country of Pharnabazus, who did not stand his ground nor trust in his defences, but always kept most of his valued and precious things with him, and withdrew or fled from one part of the country to another, having no abiding place.
