| #### #### The Ionians sailed with this fleet to Ephesus, and, leaving their ships at Coressus in the Ephesian territory, took guides from the city, and went up the country with a great host. They marched along the course of the river Cayster, and, crossing over the ridge of Tmolus, came down upon Sardis and took it, no man opposing them; - the whole city fell into their hands, except only the citadel, which Artaphernes defended in person, having with him no contemptible force. ####  |
