[1] cf.
Xenophon,
Hellenica 3.1.2: 'how Kyros collected an army and with it went up against his brother, and how the battle occurred, and how he died, and how afterwards the Greeks got safely back to the sea, has been written by Themistogenes the Syracusan'. Though Jacoby included 'Themistogenes' in FGrH (as no.108), it is generally regarded as a pseudonym for
Xenophon himself. See Peter Krentz,
Xenophon, Hellenika II.3.11-IV.2.8 (Warminster, England, 1995) 157.
