This, as well as Armenia, is an exceptionally good " horse-pastui'ing " ^ country; and a certain meadow there is called " Horse-pastui'ing," and those who travel from Persis and Babylon to Caspian Gates pass through it ; and in the time of the Persians it is said that fifty thousand mares were pastured in it and tliat these herds belonged to the kings. As for the Nesaean horses, which the kings used because they were the best and the largest, some writers say that the breed came from here, while others say from Armenia. They are characteristically diffei'ent in form, as are also the Parthian horses, as they are now called, as compared with the Helladic and the other horses in our country.

As for customs, most of theirs and of those of the Armenians are the same, because their countries are similar. The Medes, however, are said to have been the originators of customs for the Armenians, and also, still earlier, for the Persians, who were their masters and their successors in the supreme authority over Asia. For example, their " Persian " stole,^ as it is now called, and their zeal for archery and horsemanship, and the court they pay to their kings, and their ornaments, and the divine reverence paid by subjects to kings, came to the Persians from the Medes.
