Histories

The Phrygian equipment was very similar to the Paphlagonian, with only a small difference. As the Macedonians say, these Phrygians were called Briges as long as they dwelt in Europe (continent)Europe, where they were neighbors of the Macedonians; but when they changed their home to Asia (continent)Asia, they changed their name also and were called Phrygians.[*](This tends to support a reversal of Herodotus account of racial migration in Hdt. 7.20; see the note there.) The Armenians, who are settlers from Phrygia (region (general)), Turkey, Asia Phrygia, were armed like the Phrygians. Both these together had as their commander Artochmes, who had married a daughter of Darius.
