Xenophon
Oeconomicus
IV. 24.
(Cyrus the Younger to Lysander)
Do you wonder at this, Lysander? I swear to you by Mithra that whenever I am in health I never break my fast without perspiring.
Cyropaedia
VII. 5.
(Artabazus to Cyrus the Elder):
By Mithra I could not come to you yesterday without fighting my way through many foes.
