The fall of Sardis to Cyrus, ending Croesus' kingdom (FH II p.82: 'Sardis taken by Cyrus: Solin. I. 112'). The spine's 499 block records Sardis BURNT by the Ionians — the Ionian-revolt raid, a different event; its 481 block is Xerxes' arrival. This address carries the corpus's Hdt 1.91 attestations (the Croesus story).
