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.
King of Armenia, Cyrus bids you take steps as quickly as possible to deliver to him the tribute and the troops.
but now since he has seen the enemy coming upon us, he is insolent and neither sends us his complement of soldiers nor pays his tribute.
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.
