98.
It was the master of this empire that now
prepared to take the field.
When everything was ready, he set out on his march for Macedonia, first
through his own dominions, next over the desolate range of Cercine that
divides the Sintians and Paeonians, crossing by a road which he had made by
felling the timber on a former campaign against the latter people.
[2]
Passing ever these mountains, with the Paeonians on his right and the
Sintians and Maedians on the left, he finally arrived at Doberus, in
Paeonia,
[3]
losing none of his army on the march, except perhaps by sickness, but
receiving some augmentations, many of the independent Thracians volunteering
to join him in the hope of plunder; so that the whole is said to have formed a grand total of a hundred and
fifty thousand.
[4]
Most of this was infantry, though there was about a third cavalry,
furnished principally by the Odrysians themselves and next to them by the
Getae.
The most warlike of the infantry were the independent swordsmen who came
down from Rhodope; the rest of the mixed multitude that followed him being chiefly formidable
by their numbers.
