De què tracta
Els quatre primers llibres de l'«Anàbasi», que són els de la batalla de Cunaxa i la marxa fins a arribar al mar.
Context i història
Edició escolar: aquests quatre llibres eren el text canònic amb què s'ensenyava grec, i per això circulaven a part. No és una obra distinta, és una part de l'«Anàbasi». Avís: al catàleg l'«Anàbasi» hi consta en més d'una versió —sencera, els quatre primers llibres i una altra traducció anglesa—, més el volum en grec modern. Digueu quina edició citeu, i millor encara el llibre i el capítol.

Cyrus, with the rest of the army, proceeded through Cappadocia, four days' march, a distance of twenty-five parasangs, to Dana, a populous, large, and wealthy city. Here he stayed three days; in the course of which he put to death a Persian, named Megaphernes, a wearer of the royal purple,[30] and a certain other person in power, one of the provincial governors having accused them of conspiring against him. 21. They then made an attempt to enter Cilicia; but the sole entrance was a road broad enough only for a single carriage, very steep, and impracticable for an army to pass, if any one opposed them. Syennesis, besides, was said to be stationed on the heights, guarding the defile; on which account Cyrus halted for a day in the plain.…
