Histories

But not long after this Miltiades son of Cimon had come to the Gelibolu Yarimadasi (peninsula), Canakkale, Marmara, Turkey, AsiaChersonese, greater difficulties than the present afflictions overtook him. He had been driven from the country three years before this[*](In 493. tri/tw| me\n ga/r, k.t.l. explains how it was that Miltiades had been till now absent from the Gelibolu Yarimadasi (peninsula), Canakkale, Marmara, Turkey, AsiaChersonese.) by the Scythians. The nomadic Scythians, provoked by Darius, gathered themselves together and rode as far as the Gelibolu Yarimadasi (peninsula), Canakkale, Marmara, Turkey, AsiaChersonese.

Miltiades did not await their attack and fled from the Gelibolu Yarimadasi (peninsula), Canakkale, Marmara, Turkey, AsiaChersonese, until the Scythians departed and the Dolonci brought him back again. All this had happened three years before the matters that now engaged him.
