Such were the nations who fought upon the dry land, and made up the
infantry of the Persians. And they were commanded by the captains
whose names have been above recorded. The marshalling and numbering of
the troops had been committed to them; and by them were appointed the
captains over a thousand, and the captains over ten thousand; but the
leaders of ten men, or a hundred, were named by the captains over ten
thousand. There were other officers also, who gave the orders to the
various ranks and nations; but those whom I have mentioned above were
the commanders.
