Wovon es handelt
Die ersten vier Bücher der Anabasis: die Schlacht bei Kunaxa und der Marsch bis zum Anblick des Meeres.
Kontext und Geschichte
Eine Schulausgabe: diese vier Bücher waren der kanonische Text für den Griechischunterricht, und darum liefen sie gesondert um. **Kein eigenes Werk** — ein Teil der Anabasis. Anmerkung: der Katalog hat die Anabasis in mehr als einer Fassung — vollständig, die ersten vier Bücher und eine weitere englische Übersetzung —, dazu den Band auf Neugriechisch. Man sollte sagen, welche Ausgabe man zitiert, und besser noch Buch und Kapitel.

Then, as they proceeded with a quicker pace and loud shouts, the soldiers of their own accord took to running, bearing down upon the tents of the Persians. 18. Upon this, there arose great terror among the rest of the Barbarians; the Cilician queen fled from her car; and the people in the market deserted their goods and took to their heels; while the Greeks marched up to the tents with laughter. The Cilician queen, on beholding the splendour and discipline of the army, was struck with admiration; and Cyrus was delighted when he saw the terror with which the Greeks inspired the Barbarians. 19. Hence he advanced, three days' march, a distance of twenty parasangs, to Iconium, the last town of Phrygia; where he halted three days. He then went forward through Lycaonia, five days' march, a distance of thirty parasangs; and this country, as being that of an enemy, he permitted the Greeks to ravage. 20. From hence Cyrus despatched the Cilician queen, by the shortest road, into Cilicia; and sent with her the troops which Menon had, and Menon himself. 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.…
