Histories

The Egyptians furnished two hundred ships. They wore woven helmets and carried hollow shields with broad rims, and spears for sea-warfare, and great battle-axes. Most of them wore cuirasses and carried long swords.

Such was their armor. The Cyprians furnished a hundred and fifty ships; for their equipment, their princes wore turbans wrapped around their heads, and the people wore tunics, but in all else they were like the Greeks. These are their tribes:[*](That is, the entire population contains everywhere these component parts; they are not locally separate.) some are from Salamis [33.9,35.166] (deserted settlement), Famagusta, Cyprus, AsiaSalamis and Athens [23.7333,37.9667] (Perseus)Athens, some from +Arcadia [22.25,37.583] (department), Peloponnese, Greece, Europe Arcadia, some from Cythnus, some from Phoenice, and some from Ethiopia [39,8] (nation), AfricaEthiopia, as the Cyprians themselves say.

The Cilicians furnished a hundred ships. They also wore on their heads their native helmets, carried bucklers of raw oxhide for shields, and were clad in woollen tunics; each had two javelins and a sword very close in style to the knives of Egypt [30,27] (nation), Africa Egypt. These Cilicians were formerly called Hypachaei, and took their name from Cilix son of Agenor, a Phoenician.[*](Agenor appears to represent the Phoenician Baal.) The Pamphylians furnished a hundred ships: they were armed like the Greeks. These Pamphylians are descended from the Trojans of the diaspora who followed Amphilochus and Calchas.
