Then Otanes the Persian commander, seeing that the Persians had suffered greatly, purposely forgot the commands which Dareios gave him when he sent him forth, not to kill any one of the Samians nor to sell any into slavery, but to restore the island to Syloson free from all suffering of calamity,-these commands, I say, he purposely forgot, and gave the word to his army to slay every one whom they should take, man or boy, without distinction.
