The march of the army, after leaving Lydia, was directed upon the
river Caicus and the land of Mysia. Beyond the Caius the road,
leaving Mount Cana upon the left, passed through the Atarnean
plain, to the city of Carina. Quitting this, the troops advanced
across the plain of Thebe, passing Adramyttium, and Antandrus, the
Pelasgic city; then, holding Mount Ida upon the left hand, it
entered the Trojan territory. On this march the Persians suffered
some loss; for as they bivouacked during the night at the foot of
Ida, a storm of thunder and lightning burst upon them, and killed no
small number.
