Answer to Philip’s Letter
Payment used to mark subordination between Macedonian kings and Athens.
Those kings actually paid tribute to Athens, but Athens never paid tribute to any power in the world.
Cyropaedia
Payment owed by the Armenian king to Cyaxares.
Now I remember hearing you say one day recently that the Armenian king despises you now, because he has heard that the enemy are coming against you, and that therefore he is neither sending troops nor paying the tribute which is due.
King of Armenia, Cyrus bids you take steps as quickly as possible to deliver to him the tribute and the troops.
Cyrus then made answer, if you would give me as many horsemen as you think reasonable and send me there, I think that with the help of the gods I could make him send the troops and pay the tribute to you.
