Anabasis

In fact, on that very day Bion and Nausicleides[*](Apparently officers sent by Thibron.) arrived with money to give to the army and were entertained by Xenophon, and they redeemed his horse, which he had sold at Lampsacus for fifty daries,—for they suspected that he had sold it for want of money, since they heard he was fond of the horse,—gave it back to him, and would not accept from him the price of it.

From there they marched through the Troad and, crossing over Mount Ida, arrived first at Antandrus, and then, proceeding along the coast, reached the plain of Thebes.

Making their way from there through Adramyttium and Certonus, they came to the plain of the Caicus and so reached Pergamus, in Mysia.Here Xenophon was entertained by Hellas, the wife of Gongylus[*](Whose ancestor (father?), according to Xen. Hell. 3.1.6, had been given four cities in this neighbourhood by Xerxes because he espoused the Persian cause, being the only man among the Eretrians who did so, and was therefore banished. cp. Xen. Anab. 2.1.3 and note.) the Eretrian and mother of Gorgion and Gongylus.
