ἀγαθοεργίην. Xenophon (Cyr. i. 2. 1) for once is right in describing the Persian esteem for Cyrus, who ᾁδεται ἔτι καὶ νῦν εἶδος κάλλιστος, ψυχὴν φιλανθρωπότατος, φιλομαθέστατος, φιλοτιμότατος. Cf. also c. 75.

εἲκοσι. Plutarch (Reg. Apoph. s.v. Δαρείου; Mor. 173) characteristically exaggerates this to ‘100’. Cf. iv. 143 for a similar compliment to Megabyzus.
