f Cyrus, gave permission to the Greeks to
plunder of everything except the slaves. There was found in them a great
quantity of corn, and sheep, and other property. 18. Hence they advanced
in a march of five days more through the desert, a distance of twenty
parasangs, having the Tigris on their left. At the end of the first
day's march there was situate on the opposite bank of the river a large
and opulent city, called Caenae, whence the Barbarians brought over, on
rafts made of hide a supply of bread, cheese, and wine.

[Footnote 96: During this time Tissaphernes went to Babylon to the king,
and was rewarded with the hand of his daughter, and the province of
which Cyrus had been Satrap. _Diod. Sic._ xiv. 26. See sect. 8.]

[Footnote 97: [Greek: Dexias].] That is, fidem regis nomine dabant. See
the commentators on Cyrop. iv. 2. 7: [Greek: dexian dos, hina pheromen
kai tois allois tauta]. _Poppo._ So it is said in Latin _dextram ferre_.
See Breitenbach on Xen. Agesil. iii. 4]

[Footnote 98: [Greek: Ege].] From iii. 4. 13, it appears that we must
refer this verb to Orontes. See note on sect. 1. Whether Tissaphernes
and Orontes both married daughters of the king, is uncertain. If only
one of them, Xenophon is more likely to be in the right than Diodorus
Siculus. Orontes was satrap of Armenia, iii. 5. 17. Rhodogune, a
daughter of Artaxerxes, is said by Plutarch (Vit. Art. c. 27) to have
been married to Oraetes, who may be the same as Xenophon's Orontes.]

[Footnote 99: [Greek: Epi gamo].] These words signify literally _for_ or
_upon marriage_. The true interpretation, says Krueger, is, doubtless,
"in order that he might have her, or live with her, in wedlock," the
marriage ceremony having been, it would seem, previously performed at
Babylon.]

[Footnote 100: [Greek: Plegas eneteinon allelois].] Whether this
signifies that they actually inflicted blows on one another, or only
threatened them, may admit of some doubt. The former notion is adopted
by the Latin translators, by Sturz in his Lexicon, and by the
commentators generally.]

[Footnote 101: See i. 7. 15.]

[Footnote 102: i. 2. 22.]

[Footnote 103: Zeune thinks that Xenophon may possibly mean himself; but
this is mere conjecture.]

[Footnote 104: [Greek: Dielontes].] An excellent conjectural emendation
of Holtzmann for the old reading [Greek: dielthontes]. _Kuehner_.--The
stratagem of Tissaphernes was similar to that by which Themistocles
expedited the depart
