ABSTRACT
The king of Armenia, hearing Cyrus his ambassage, was astonished, remembering that he had done wrong, both in withholding his tribute, and in not sending aid, being most of all in fear, because it should be espied that he had begun to edify his place, so that he was able to keep out his adversaries. The king sent forth others to espy what Cyrus did, and also made in a readiness those Armenians, who were present, and forthwith others came to him, saying that Cyrus was at hand. Then he being afraid to try it by fight, conveyed himself away. This was perceived by other Armenians in a similar manner, and they also fled their homes, intending to carry away such things as they had. The chapter also discusses the oration of Cyrus.
