Presently, when the Persians had come and had crossed the +Buyukmenderes Nehri [27.183,37.466] (river), Turkey, Asia Maeander, they and the Carians joined battle by the river Marsyas. The Carians fought obstinately and for a long time, but at the last they were overcome by the odds. Of the Persians, as many as two thousand men fell, and of the Carians ten thousand.
