Histories

As Oeobazus was making his escape into Thrace (region (general)), EuropeThrace, the Apsinthians of that country caught and sacrificed him in their customary manner to Plistorus the god of their land; as for his companions, they did away with them by other means.

Artayctes and his company had begun their flight later, and were overtaken a little way beyond the Goat's Rivers,[*](A roadstead opposite Lapseki [26.7,40.366] (inhabited place), Canakkale, Marmara, Turkey, AsiaLampsacus; the rivers were probably two small streams that flow into the sea there (How and Wells).) where after they had defended themselves a long time, some of them were killed and the rest taken alive. The Greeks bound them and carried them to Sestos [26.4,40.2833] (Perseus)Sestus, and together with them Artayctes and his son also in bonds.
