Cyrus replies that he wishes to punish Abrocomas, a personal enemy, who is near the Euphrates river, but that he will not go in pursuit, if Abrocomas shall flee. 8-9 Cyrus sent for Lysander and forbade him to engage in a naval battle with the Athenians, till the Lacedaemonians should have many more ships. Cyrus said that he had much money and could provide many ships. Then taking all the tribute from the cities which were his own, he gave it to Lysander. 10-12 The barbarians brought this message to the Greeks: "If you plan to do harm to us, you will also harm yourselves. If we wish to destroy you, we are able to do so without incurring danger. We have provisions but you lack them. If we should be conquered, we would burn up the provisions and without these you could not fight. Since we have such resources for conquering you, why should we deceive you?" 13-15 There are many witnesses of the deeds done by Agesilaus. But witnesses are not needed. It is necessary for us only to mention his deeds and we are believed. He loved what was good and refrained from what was bad. He always abode by his oaths so that his enemies trusted him.

He thought that Agesilaus intended to go to Caria. But instead of going forward, Agesilaus turned round and marched for many days, taking provisions for the army wherever he could. 8-9 If the Greeks should go away now, they would seem to break their treaties. They would have no provisions and no guides. The enemy could prevent them from crossing the Though they should go away by day or by night they could not escape the notice of the enemy. river. 10-12 Persuaded by Menon, some of the soldiers crossed the river before the rest of the army made a reply. When Cyrus saw them crossing, he was pleased and sent word to them that now he praised them, but that he would take care that they should praise him. Then all the other soldiers crossed the river. It was said that this river had never before been passable on foot. 13-15 The Athenians being besieged both by land and by sea were at a loss to know what to do, because they had neither ships nor allies nor food.
