Ἀρταξέρξης δὲ ὁ τῆς Ἀσίας βασιλεὺς τά τε ἐλαττώματα πυθόμενος καὶ κατορρωδῶν τὸν πρὸς τοὺς Ἕλληνας πόλεμον, διʼ ὀργῆς εἶχε τὸν Τισσαφέρνην. τοῦτον γὰρ αἴτιον τοῦ πολέμου γεγονέναι ὑπελάμβανε· καὶ ὑπὸ τῆς μητρὸς δὲ Παρυσάτιδος ἦν ἠξιωμένος τιμωρήσασθαι τὸν Τισσαφέρνην· εἶχε γὰρ αὕτη διαφόρως πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐκ τοῦ διαβεβληκέναι τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς Κῦρον, ὅτε τὴν ἐπὶ τὸν ἀδελφὸν στρατείαν ἐποιεῖτο.
