Gadatas

I am sure that Gadatas would even pay for the opportunity of doing the present Assyrian king some serious harm.

Tell me, you were saying, were you not, that you thought that the prince who was castrated by the Assyrian would be on our side?

And after this, Gadatas came to Cyrus and said that messengers had come to him with the information that when the Assyrian king heard the facts about the fortress, he was exceedingly wroth and was preparing to invade his country.
