Reading edition

Lydie, pp. 57 f.; cp. Plut. Qu. Gr. 45 (Moral. 302), “when Gyges revolted and made war on him (Candaules)”: cp. also Hdt. I. 13, “when the Lydians much resented the way Candaules was treated and took up arms.” But Herodotus goes on to say that the two factions came to an understanding to refer the dispute to Delphi.
