and taking the horses they laid waste the land of the Scythians.

Question 18

But the Scythians, not knowing the language, and thinking the Amazons were men, attacked, and having fought a battle (lit. “having attacked and fought”) took up the corpses.

Answer 18

οἱ δὲ Σκύθαι, οὐ γιγνώσκοντες τὴν φωνήν, καὶ ἄνδρας νομίζοντες τὰς Ἀμαζόνας, ἐμπεσόντες καὶ μαχεσάμενοι τοὺς νεκροὺς ἀνεῖλον.

Question 19

Thus, then, they discovered that they were women, on taking up the corpses.

οὕτως οὖν ἔγνωσαν γυναῖκας οὔσας, ἀνελόντες τοὺς νεκρούς.

Question 20

Having discovered this, and not wanting to kill [them] any more, but to have children by them, they sent their own young men to them …

Answer 20

γνόντες δὲ ταῦτα, καὶ οὐ βουλόμενοι ἀποκτείνειν ἔτι, ἀλλὰ ἐξ αὐτῶν παιδοποιεῖσθαι, τοὺς ἑαυτῶν νεανίσκους ἀπέπεμψαν εἰς αὐτάς, …

Question 21

ordering them not to fight, but to follow and make camp near the Amazons.

Question 22

So, coming near, the young men followed [them] and made camp.

Answer 22

πλησίον οὖν ἐλθόντες εἵποντο οἱ νεανίσκοι, καὶ ἐστρατοπεδεύσαντο.

Question 23

And first the Amazons went away, but on going away they saw the men following.

αἱ μὲν οὖν Ἀμαζόνες ἐδίωκον, οἱ δ’ ἄνδρες ἔφευγον.

Question 25

Seeing the men fleeing, the Amazons were quiet.

Answer 25

ἰδοῦσαι οὖν φεύγοντας τοὺς ἄνδρας, ἡσύχαζον αἱ Ἀμαζόνες.
