Ξέρξης δὲ ὡς ἐπύθετο τὸν Ἑλλήσποντον ἐζεῦχθαι καὶ τὸν Ἄθω διεσκάφθαι, προῆγεν ἐκ τῶν Σάρδεων ἐφʼ Ἑλλησπόντου τὴν πορείαν ποιούμενος· ὡς δὲ ἧκεν εἰς Ἄβυδον, διὰ τοῦ ζεύγματος τὴν δύναμιν διήγαγεν εἰς τὴν Εὐρώπην. πορευόμενος δὲ διὰ τῆς Θρᾴκης πολλοὺς προσελαμβάνετο στρατιώτας καὶ τῶν Θρᾳκῶν καὶ τῶν ὁμόρων τούτοις Ἑλλήνων.
