The Cilicians furnished a hundred ships. The crews wore upon their
heads the helmet of their country, and carried instead of shields light
targes made of raw hide; they were clad in woollen tunics, and were
each armed with two javelins, and a sword closely resembling the
cutlass of the Egyptians. This people bore anciently the name of
Hypachaeans, but took their present title from Cilix, the son of
Agenor, a Phoenician.
The Pamphylians furnished thirty ships, the crews of which were armed
exactly as the Greeks. This nation is descended from those who on the
return from Troy were dispersed with Amphilochus and Calchas.
