1Although Autophradates saw this, he still preferred to engage at once rather than retreat with such great forces or sit so long in one place. 2He had twenty thousand barbarian cavalry and a hundred thousand infantry, whom they call Cardaces, and three thousand slingers of the same race, besides eight thousand Cappadocians, ten thousand Armenians, five thousand Paphlagonians, ten thousand Phrygians, five thousand Lydians, about three thousand Aspendians and Pisidians, two thousand Cilicians, as many Captianians, three thousand hired from Greece, and a very great number of light-armed troops. 3Against these forces all Datames' hope rested in himself and in the nature of the ground (for he did not have a twentieth part of this number of soldiers).
3Relying on these, he joined battle and cut down many thousands of his opponents, while of his own army no more than a thousand men fell. 3For this reason on the following day he set up a trophy on the spot where the battle had been fought the day before. 4When he had moved camp from there and, though always inferior in forces, always came off superior in every battle, because he never joined combat unless he had shut his opponents into narrow places, which often happened to a man who knew the country and planned cunningly, Autophradates, seeing that the war was being prolonged with greater loss to the king than to his opponents, reminded him of peace and their former friendship and urged him to return to favour with the king.
6Although Datames thought it would not be trustworthy, he nevertheless accepted the terms and said that he would send envoys to Artaxerxes. 6So the war which the king had undertaken against Datames was settled. 6Autophradates withdrew into Phrygia.
