Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Nine Books of the History of Herodotus, Vol. 2 of 2: Translated From the Text of the Rev. Thomas Gaisford, M.A., Regius Professor of Greek, With Notes Illustrative and Critical
The T hracian people are, next at 'least to the Indians, the most numerous in the world: and were they under the control of one prince, or could they agree among themselves, they would, in my opinion, be invincible, and by far the most potent of all nations; but inasmuch as this is impracticable with them, and impossible ever to take place, they are'accordingly by that reason feeble. They have various names according to their respective regions; all of them follow in every respect nearly the same institutions, if we except the Getae, and the Trausr.
