The Struggles of Suthys

Suthis and Xenophon continue the march with Suthis. They arrived at Salmedesus, which is on the Black Sea coast. Here many vessels sailing to the Pontus run aground and are wrecked. The Thracians who dwell on this coast have boundary stones set up. Each group of them plunder the ships that are wrecked within their own limits. But here they found great numbers of beds and boxes,. quantities of written books, and an abundance of other articles in wooden chests.
