Xerxes then marched through the country of the Paeonian tribes - the
Doberians and the Paeoplae - which lay to the north of Pangaeum,
and, advancing westward, reached the river Strymon and the city
Eion, whereof Boges, of whom I spoke a short time ago, and who was
then still alive, was governor. The tract of land lying about Mount
Pangaeum is called Phyllis; on the west it reaches to the river
Angites, which flows into the Strymon, and on the south to the
Strymon itself, where at this time the Magi were sacrificing white
horses to make the stream favourable.
