To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
According to Ctesias, theirwomen took the field in almost equal numbers with their men; and themixed army which resisted Cyrus amounted, including both sexes, to halfa million. The king who commanded them was a certain Amorges, who wasmarried to a wife called Sparethra. In an engagement with the Persianshe fell into the enemy's hands, whereupon Sparethra put herself at thehead of the Sacan forces, defeated Cyrus, and took so many prisonersof importance that the Persian monarch was glad to relea...se Amorges inexchange for them. The Sacse, however, notwithstanding this success, were reduced, and became subjects and tributaries of Persia.
Among other countries subdued by Cyrus in this neighborhood, probablyabout the same period, may be named Hyrcania, Parthia, Chorasmia, Sogdiana, Aria (or Herat), Drangiana, Arachosia, Sattagydia, andGandaria. The brief epitome which we possess of Ctesias omits to makeany mention of these minor conquests, while Herodotus sums them allup in a single line; but there is reason to believe that the Cnidianhistorian gave a methodized account of their accomplishment, of whichscattered notices have come down to us in various writers.
