Καρδοῦχοι, ἔθνος Μηδίας, ὡς Ξενοφῶν ἐν ἀναβάσεως τρίτῃ “ἐς Καρδούχους ἄγει”. τούτους δέ φησιν οἰκεῖν ἀνὰ τὰ ὄρη καὶ πολεμικοὺς εἶναι καὶ βασιλέως οὐκ ἀκούειν. καὶ Σοφαίνετος ἐν Κύρου ἀναβάσει φησὶ περὶ αὐτῶν.

Carduchoi: a people of Media, as Xenophon says in the third book of the *Anabasis*: “he leads [them] into the Carduchoi.” He says that these people dwell up in the mountains, are warlike, and do not obey the king. And Sophainetos, in the *Anabasis of Cyrus*, also speaks about them.
