but_o in_o his_o absence_n i_o think_v it_o most_o convenient_a for_o one_o of_o the_o royal_a family_n to_o do_v it_o who_o you_o shall_v best_o approve_v of_o when_o cambyses_n have_v thus_o say_v cyrus_n and_o the_o persian_a magistrate_n agree_v upon_o the_o premise_n by_o common_a consent_n and_o enter_v it_o among_o the_o decree_n and_o this_o solemn_a league_n which_o be_v then_o confirm_v be_v now_o constant_o observe_v to_o this_o day_n and_o when_o these_o thing_n be_v end_v cyrus_n depart_v and_o when_o he_o be_v come_v into_o media_n by_o his_o parent_n daughter_n consent_n he_o marry_v cyaxares_n his_o daughter_n who_o as_o they_o say_v be_v a_o very_a beautiful_a lady_n some_o historian_n say_v that_o he_o marry_v his_o mother_n sister_n but_o that_o be_v improbable_a because_o she_o will_v have_v be_v at_o that_o time_n a_o old_a woman_n when_o the_o solemnity_n of_o his_o marriage_n be_v over_o he_o go_v away_o with_o she_o and_o when_o he_o be_v come_v to_o babylon_n he_o think_v it_o now_o concern_v he_o to_o set_v deputy-governour_n over_o the_o nation_n which_o he_o have_v conquer_v for_o as_o policy_n for_o the_o governor_n of_o the_o castle_n and_o garrison_n and_o the_o tribune_n of_o those_o who_o be_v upon_o guard_n all_o about_o the_o country_n he_o will_v not_o have_v they_o under_o any_o beside_o himself_o for_o by_o this_o mean_v he_o think_v that_o in_o case_n any_o of_o the_o deputy-governour_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o their_o greatness_n or_o the_o number_n of_o their_o subject_n shall_v behave_v themselves_o insolent_o and_o refuse_v to_o yield_v obedience_n they_o may_v have_v their_o adversary_n ready_a to_o encounter_v they_o in_o the_o very_a same_o country_n be_v therefore_o resolve_v upon_o this_o expedient_a he_o think_v it_o necessary_a to_o summon_v they_o together_o and_o acquaint_v they_o with_o the_o business_n that_o those_o who_o be_v to_o be_v send_v may_v know_v what_o their_o errand_n be_v for_o than_o he_o think_v they_o will_v take_v it_o the_o better_a whereas_o if_o they_o shall_v find_v it_o out_o after_o they_o be_v invest_v with_o their_o power_n he_o think_v they_o will_v take_v it_o amiss_o as_o if_o they_o be_v not_o fit_a to_o be_v trust_v have_v therefore_o convene_v they_o together_o he_o say_v thus_o to_o they_o we_o have_v garrison_n my_o friend_n in_o our_o conquer_a city_n and_o governor_n in_o they_o which_o we_o leave_v there_o to_o these_o i_o give_v order_n at_o my_o last_o part_n with_o they_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o attempt_v any_o thing_n of_o their_o own_o head_n but_o make_v it_o their_o whole_a business_n to_o look_v to_o the_o garrison_n now_o i_o do_v not_o think_v it_o fit_a to_o divest_v these_o of_o their_o power_n because_o they_o have_v so_o well_o discharge_v their_o trust_n but_o i_o must_v send_v other_o deputy_n who_o may_v preside_v over_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o those_o country_n receive_v tribute_n and_o pay_v the_o garrison-man_n their_o stipend_n and_o do_v what_o ever_o else_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v do_v and_o as_o for_o those_o of_o you_o who_o live_v here_o who_o i_o employ_v upon_o business_n abroad_o among_o those_o nation_n i_o think_v i_o must_v give_v you_o house_n and_o land_n there_o that_o so_o they_o may_v know_v whither_o to_o bring_v their_o tribute_n and_o that_o when_o they_o come_v they_o may_v be_v entertain_v when_o he_o have_v thus_o say_v he_o give_v most_o of_o his_o friend_n house_n and_o servant_n in_o the_o conquer_a city_n and_o their_o posterity_n have_v the_o same_o in_o possession_n at_o this_o day_n though_o they_o themselves_o reside_v in_o the_o king_n court_n it_o be_v necessary_a moreover_o say_v he_o that_o we_o pick_v out_o such_o deputy_n for_o those_o country_n who_o will_v be_v mindful_a to_o send_v over_o hither_o whatever_o choice_n commodity_n every_o country_n afford_v that_o so_o we_o that_o be_v here_o may_v partake_v of_o all_o manner_n of_o their_o good_a thing_n for_o if_o any_o ill_n befall_v they_o we_o must_v be_v concern_v in_o their_o protection_n when_o he_o have_v thus_o say_v he_o commission_v some_o of_o his_o choice_a friend_n that_o be_v willing_a to_o go_v to_o be_v deputy_n according_a to_o the_o condition_n propose_v to_o arabia_n he_o send_v megabizus_n to_o cappadocia_n artabazus_n to_o phrygia_n the_o great_a artacamas_n to_o lycia_n and_o jonia_n chrysantas_n to_o caria_n adusius_n who_o be_v desire_v by_o the_o people_n of_o the_o place_n to_o phrygia_n near_o hellespont_n and_o aeolis_n pharnuchus_n but_o to_o cilicia_n cyprus_n and_o paphlagonia_n he_o send_v no_o persian_a deputy_n because_o they_o offer_v to_o side_n with_o cyrus_n against_o the_o babylonian_n of_o their_o own_o accord_n but_o however_o he_o impose_v a_o tribute_n upon_o these_o as_o well_o as_o the_o rest_n the_o garrison_n remain_v still_o in_o the_o king_n power_n according_a to_o cyrus_n his_o constitution_n at_o that_o time_n and_o the_o tribune_n of_o the_o garrison_n be_v depute_v by_o the_o king_n and_o their_o estate_n have_v a_o tax_n upon_o they_o moreover_o he_o charge_v all_o the_o deputy_n which_o he_o send_v that_o whatever_o they_o have_v see_v he_o do_v they_o shall_v imitate_v as_o near_o as_o they_o can_v that_o they_o shall_v in_o deputy_n the_o first_o place_n take_v their_o horseman_n and_o coachman_n out_o of_o those_o persian_n and_o other_o associate_n that_o accompany_v they_o and_o that_o they_o shall_v make_v all_o householder_n and_o master_n of_o estate_n frequent_v the_o gate_n that_o so_o they_o may_v live_v temperate_o and_o be_v ready_a to_o serve_v the_o deputy_n upon_o any_o occasion_n that_o they_o shall_v educate_v and_o discipline_n their_o child_n at_o the_o gate_n as_o the_o manner_n be_v with_o he_o that_o the_o deputy_n shall_v have_v those_o that_o attend_v at_o the_o gate_n out_o ahunting_a pretty_a often_o and_o exercise_n both_o himself_o and_o his_o man_n in_o feat_n of_o arms._n and_o for_o your_o encouragement_n say_v he_o whosoever_o according_a to_o his_o ability_n shall_v furnish_v i_o with_o most_o chariot_n and_o train_n up_o most_o horseman_n he_o will_v i_o honour_v as_o a_o excellent_a fellow-soldier_n and_o one_o that_o be_v a_o fellow-guardian_n both_o of_o the_o persian_a dominion_n and_o of_o my_o own_o
