The Ionians, Magnesians of Asia (continent)Asia, Aeolians, Carians, Lycians, Milyans, and Pamphylians, on whom Darius laid one joint tribute, paid a revenue of four hundred talents of silver. This was established as his first province. The Mysians, Lydians, Lasonians, Cabalians, and Hytennians paid five hundred talents; this was the second province.

The third comprised the Hellespontians on the right of the entrance of the straits, the Phrygians, Thracians of Asia (continent)Asia, Paphlagonians, Mariandynians, and Syrians; these paid three hundred and sixty talents of tribute.

The fourth province was Cilicia [34.333,36.666] (region (general)), Turkey, AsiaCilicia. This rendered three hundred and sixty white horses, one for each day in the year, and five hundred talents of silver. A hundred and forty of these were expended on the horsemen who were the guard of Cilicia [34.333,36.666] (region (general)), Turkey, AsiaCilicia; the three hundred and sixty that remained were paid to Darius.
