After his defeat, Nectanebo II hastily fled to Memphis, leaving the fortified towns to be defended by their garrisons. These garrisons consisted of partly Greek and partly Egyptian troops; between whom jealousies and suspicions were easily sown by the Persian leaders. As a result, the Persians were able to rapidly reduce numerous towns across Lower Egypt and were advancing upon Memphis when Nectanebo II decided to quit the country and flee southwards to Ethiopia.[1] The Persian army completely routed the Egyptians and occupied the Lower Delta of the Nile.
