To the amount thus reached we have still to add the forces gathered in
Europe, concerning which I can only speak from conjecture. The
Greeks dwelling in Thrace, and in the islands off the coast of
Thrace, furnished to the fleet one hundred and twenty ships; the
crews of which would amount to 24,000 men. Besides these,
footmen were furnished by the Thracians, the Paeonians, the
Eordians, the Bottiaeans, by the Chalcidean tribes, by the
Brygians, the Pierians, the Macedonians, the Perrhaebians the
Enianians, the Dolopians, the Magnesians, the Achaeans and by all
the dwellers upon the Thracian sea-board; and the forces of these
nations amounted, I believe, to three hundred thousand men. These
numbers, added to those of the force which came out of Asia, make the
sum of the fighting men 2,641,610.
