		Therefore, thinking that, under the circumstances, it was better to slay Sadyattes than be slain by him, and being assured of faithful friends to help him, Gyges broke into the palace, sword in hand, and, entering the chamber, the door of which was opened for him by the maid, killed Sadyattes in his sleep.

		Assyria needed Phrygian arms and at the same time had to accept such financial terns as the suppliers of such arms decreed, and it may safely be assured that such terms stipulated payment was to be made in gold, silver, or electrum.
		The extraordinary treasure of such as Sadyattes, latter dispossessed and executed by Croesus, cannot be explained any other way.
		Similarly, the other metals, copper, bronze, and iron, no longer deemed precious, and which therefore were often left on the battlefield, would fall into the hands of members of those semi-criminal castes such as Sadyattes, previously mentioned, who would control the camp followers that stripped the dead and thus garnered this scrap metal.
