Such are stereotypes, an overeager use of Occam's Razor and a distinct refusal to merge data from sources of less than 100 years apart under the silent pretext of possible reforms and resets. The combination of the report of Xenophon with that of Herodotus, and then with Arrian and Strabo, identifies the Persian draftees of the home guard and of the establishments/colonies of Persians abroad. These troops may have been called Kardaka and initially trained as sparabara archers of the standing army for a 10-year period, and then, when admitted to the citizen class as reserves, they were redelegated as close-quarter battle troopers, bearing body armour. This report by Xenophon and Strabo identifies the elusive Persian cuirassiers serving with Mardonius in Herodotus as the mobilised reserve Persian infantry and elucidates Arrian's of Kardaka, suggesting a massive rearming effort by Darius III to hoplite standards.
