When Xerxes had so spoken and had made good his promises to Pythius,
he pressed forward upon his march; and passing Anaua, a Phrygian
city, and a lake from which salt is gathered, he came to Colossae, a
Phrygian city of great size, situated at a spot where the river Lycus
plunges into a chasm and disappears. This river, after running under
ground a distance of about five furlongs, reappears once more, and
empties itself, like the stream above mentioned, into the Maeander.
Leaving Colossae, the army approached the borders of Phrygia where
it abuts on Lydia; and here they came to a city called Cydrara,
where was a pillar set up by Croesus, having an inscription on it,
showing the boundaries of the two countries.
