To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
X. At the Pelusian mouth of the Nile Psammenitus, the son of Amasis, was encamp- ed, and expected Camb3r8es in arms. Amasis himself^ after a reign of forty-four years, died before Cambyses had advanced to Egypt, and during the whole enjoyment of his power he experienced no extraordinary calamity. At his death his body was embalmed, and deposited in a sepulchre which he had erected for himself in the temple of Minerva.' During the reign of his son Psammenitus, Egypt beheld a most re- markable pr...odigy ; there was rain at the Egyp- tian Thebes, a circumstance which never hap- pened before, and which, as the Thebans them- selves assert, has never occurred since. In the higher parts of Egypt it never rains, but at that period we read it rained at Thebes in dis- tinct drops." XL The Persians having passed the de- serts, fixed their camp opposite to the Egyp- tians, as with the design of offering them battle.
The Greeks and Carians, who were the con- federates of the Egyptians, to show their re- sentment against Phanes, for introducing a foreign army against Egypt, adopted this ex- pedient: his sons, whom he had left behind, they brought into the camp, and in a con- spicuous place, in the sight of their father, they put them one by one to death upon a vessel brought thither for that purpose.
