Kitap 16
1.18
The Cossaei, like the neighbouring mountaineers, are for the most part archers, and are always out on foraging parties. For as they occupy a country of small extent, and barren, they are compelled by necessity to live at the expense of others. They are also necessarily powerful, for they are all fighting men. When the Elymaei were at war with the Babylonians and Susians, they supplied the Elymaei with thirteen thousand auxiliaries.
1.18
The Paraetaceni attend to the cultivation of the ground more than the Cossaei, but even these people do not abstain from robbery.
