There he remained three days, during which time Xenias the Arcadian celebrated the Lycaean1 festival with sacrifice and held games; the prizes were golden strigils, and Cyrus himself was one of those who watched the games. Thence he marched two stages, twelve parasangs, to the inhabited city of Ceramon-agora,2 the last Phrygian city as one goes toward Mysia.
