      an ally of the Assyrians against Cyrus. His wife Pantheia was taken on the conquest of the
      Assyrian camp, while he was absent on a mission to the Bactrians. In consequence of the
      honorable treatment which his wife received from Cyrus, he joined the latter with his forces.
      He fell in battle, while fighting against the Egyptians. Inconsolable at her loss, Pantheia
      put an end to her own life, and her example was followed by her three eunuchs. Cyrus had a
      high mound raised in their honour: on a pillar on the top were inscribed the names of
      Abradatas and Pantheia in the Syriac characters; and three columns below bore the inscription
       <foreign xml:lang="grc">σκηπτούχων</foreign>, in honour of the eunuchs. (Xen. <hi rend="ital">Cyr.</hi> 5.1.3, 6.1.31, 6.4.2, &amp;c. 7.3.2, &amp;c.; Lucian. <hi rend="ital">Imag.</hi> 20.)</p></div></div></body></text></TEI>
