[7] The MSS. add: “The following is a list
of the governors of the
several territories of the
king which were traversed by us during
the expedition: Artimas,
governor of Lydia; Artacamas, of Phrygia;
Mithridates, of Lycaonia and
Cappadocia; Syennesis, of Cilicia;
Dernes, of Phoenicia and Arabia;
Belesys, of Syria and Assyria;
Rhoparas, of Babylon; Arbacus,
of Media; Tiribazus, of the
Phasians and Hesperites.
Then some independent tribes—the
Carduchians or Kurds, and
Chalybes, and Chaldaeans, and Macrones,
and Colchians, and Mossynoecians,
and Coetians, and Tibarenians.
Then Corylas, the governor
of Paphlagonia; Pharnabazus, of the
Bithynians; Seuthes, of the
European Thracians. The entire
journey, ascent and descent,
consisted of two hundred and fifteen
stages = one thousand one
hundred and fifty-five parasangs =
thirty-four thousand six hundred
and fifty stades. Computed in
time, the length of ascent
and descent together amounted to one
year and three months.”
The annotator apparently computes the
distance from Ephesus to Cotyora.
