Κιλικίης πάσης ἦρξε. This would be most interesting if true, but Xenagoras cannot well have been satrap of Cilicia, because that country, though called a satrapy (iii. 90), remained till at least 400 B. C. under the rule of its native princes (Xen. Cyrop. vii. 4. 2), who bore the title Συέννεσις. Cf. i. 74. 3 n. (585 B. C.); v. 118. 2 (500 B. C.); vii. 98, and Aesch. Pers. 326 (480 B. C.); Xen. Anab. i. 2 ad fin.; Ctes. Pers. § 58, p. 78; Diod. xiv. 20 (401 B. C.). Hence the conjecture Λυκίης.
