Book 7
88.1
The captains of cavalry were Harmamithres and Tithaeus, sons of Datis; the third who was captain with them, Pharnuches, had been left behind sick at Sardis [28.0167,38.475] (Perseus) Sardis. As they set forth from Sardis [28.0167,38.475] (Perseus) Sardis, an unwelcome mishap befell him: a dog ran under the feet of the horse he was riding, and the horse was taken by surprise and frightened, so it reared up and threw Pharnuches; after his fall he vomited blood and began to waste away.
88.2
The horse was immediately dealt with according to Pharnuces' command; his servants led it away to the place where it had thrown their master, and cut off its legs at the knee. Thus it was that Pharnuches lost his command.
89.1
The number of the triremes was twelve hundred and seven, and they were furnished by the following: the Phoenicians with the Syrians of +Palestine [35.333,31.916] (region (general)), Asia Palestine furnished three hundred; for their equipment, they had on their heads helmets very close to the Greek in style; they wore linen breastplates, and carried shields without rims, and javelins.
89.2
These Phoenicians formerly dwelt, as they themselves say, by the +Red Sea [42,15] (sea) Red Sea; they crossed from there and now inhabit the seacoast of +Syria [38,35] (nation), Asia Syria. This part of +Syria [38,35] (nation), Asia Syria as far as Egypt [30,27] (nation), Africa Egypt is all called +Palestine [35.333,31.916] (region (general)), Asia Palestine.
89.3
The Egyptians furnished two hundred ships. They wore woven helmets and carried hollow shields with broad rims, and spears for sea-warfare, and great battle-axes. Most of them wore cuirasses and carried long swords.
