Anabasis

And now they crossed over to the country of the Thracians above Byzantium, in the so-called Delta;[*](See on Xen. Anab. 7.1.33.) this was beyond the domain of Maesades, being the land of Teres the Odrysian.

There Heracleides presented himself, with the proceeds from the sale of the booty. And Seuthes, leading forth three pairs of mules—for there were no more than three—and the yokes of oxen besides, called Xenophon and bade him take for himself and then distribute the rest among the generals and captains.

Xenophon replied: Well, for my part I am content to get something at a later time; give rather to these generals and captains who have followed with me.

So one of the mule teams was given to Timasion the Dardanian, one to Cleanor the Orchomenian, and one to Phryniscus the Achaean, while the yokes of oxen were distributed among the captains. Seuthes also paid over the wages of the troops, but for twenty days only of the month that had now passed; for Heracleides said that he had not obtained any more than that from his sale.
