Hdt. 2.98 The Histories, Herodotus; served verbatim
Anthylla is a town of some reputation, and is especially assigned to the consort of the reigning king of Egypt , to provide her shoes. This has been done since Egypt has been under Persian dominion. The other town, I think, is named after Arkhandrus son of Phthius the Achaean, and son-in-law of Danaus; for it is called Arkhandrus' town. It may be that there was another Arkhandrus; but the name is not Egyptian.

The Greek stands ready in the workroom; the English is served. Both faces will read together.
