en who were Persians,
Medes, or Sacans; and this amounts to three myriads six thousand two
hundred and ten 175 in addition to the others. I will add also to this
and to the former number the crews of the fifty-oared galleys, assuming
that there were eighty men, more or less, 176 in each one. Of these
vessels there were gathered together, as was before said, three
thousand: it would follow therefore that there were in them
four-and-twenty myriads 177 of men. This was the naval force which came
from Asia, amounting in all to fifty-one myriads and also seven thousand
six hundred and ten in addition. 178 Then of the footmen there had been
found to be a hundred and seventy myriads, 179 and of the horsemen eight
myriads: 180 and I will add also to these the Arabian camel-drivers
and the Libyan drivers of chariots, assuming them to amount to twenty
thousand men. The result is then that the number of the ships'
crews combined with that of the land-army amounts to two hundred and
thirty-one myriads and also in addition seven thousand six hundred and
ten. 181 This is the statement of the Army which was brought up out of
Asia itself, without counting the attendants which accompanied it or the
corn-transports and the men who sailed in these.

185. There is still to be reckoned, in addition to all this which has
been summed up, the force which was being led from Europe; and of this
we must give a probable estimate. 182 The Hellenes of Thrace and of the
islands which lie off the coast of Thrace supplied a hundred and twenty
ships; from which ships there results a sum of twenty-four thousand
men: and as regards the land-force which was supplied by the Thracians,
Paionians, Eordians, Bottiaians, the race which inhabits Chalkidike, the
Brygians, Pierians, Macedonians, Perraibians, Enianians, 183 Dolopians,
Magnesians, Achaians, and all those who dwell in the coast-region of
Thrace, of these various nations I estimate that there were thirty
myriads. 184 These myriads then added to those from Asia make a total
sum of two hundred and sixty-four myriads of fighting men and in
addition to these sixteen hundred and ten. 185

186. Such being the number of this body of fighting-men, 186 the
attendants who went with these and the men who were in the small vessels
187 which carried corn, and again in the other vessels which sailed
with the army, these I suppose were not less in number but more than
the fighting men. I assume them to be equal in
