enemy's camp, did not wait for the heavy-armed men, but ran
forward with a shout to attack it. 21. The Barbarians, hearing the
noise, did not stand their ground, but fled; some of them however were
killed, and about twenty horses taken, as was also the tent of
Tiribazus, and in it some couches with silver feet, and drinking-cups,
and some prisoners, who said that they were bakers and cup-bearers. 22.
When the officers of the heavy-armed troops heard what had taken place,
they resolved upon marching back as fast as possible to their own camp,
lest any attempt should be made on those who had been left there.
Calling in the men immediately, therefore, by sound of trumpet, they
returned to the camp the same day.

[Footnote 206: Orontes: iii. 5. 17; 4. 3, 4. He was the satrap, as
Krueger thinks, of Eastern Armenia; Tiribazus being called satrap of
Western Armenia, sect. 4.]

defences, should the people be attacked by any of their neighbours.
Compare v. 2. 5.]

[Footnote 208: [Greek: Kalos men, megas d' ou].] I have, with Bornemann
and Poppo, restored this reading, in which all the manuscripts concur.
Muretus, from Demetrius Phalereus, sect. 6 and 121, has given [Greek:
megas men ou, kalos de], and Hutchinson and all other editors down to
Bornemann have followed him. It cannot be denied that this is the usual
order in such phrases; as in iv. 8. 2; vi. 4. 20; but passages are not
wanting in which the contrary order is observed; see iv. 6. 2. _Kuehner_.
As the piece attributed to Demetrius Phalereus is not genuine, little
attention need be paid to it.]

[Footnote 209: It would seem to have been the palace of Tiribazus, as
the one mentioned in sect. 2 was that of Orontes. _Schneider_.]

[Footnote 210: See Diod. Sic. xiv. 28.] Ainsworth speaks of the cold in
the nights on these Armenian uplands, p. 173. "When Lucullus, in his
expedition against Mithridates, marched through Armenia, his army
suffered as much by the frost and snow as the Greeks under Xenophon;
and, when Alexander Severus returned through this country, many of his
men lost their hands and feet through excessive cold. Tournefort also
complains that at Erzeroum, though situated in a plain, his fingers were
so benumbed with cold, that he could not write till an hour after
sunrise. (See Plutarch in Lucull., and Zonaras's Annals.)" _Spelman_.]
