Histories

The Pedaseans were at length taken, and when Harpagus led his army into the plain of Xanthos [29.35,36.3833] (Perseus)Xanthus, the Lycians came out to meet him, and showed themselves courageous fighting few against many; but being beaten and driven into the city, they gathered their wives and children and goods and servants into the acropolis, and then set the whole acropolis on fire.
