Page "Amasis II" Paragraph 6
from
Wikipedia
Herodotus also describes that just like his predecessor, Amasis II relied on Greek mercenaries and council men.
One such figure was Phanes of Halicarnassus, who would later on leave Amasis, for reasons Herodotus does not clearly know but suspects were personal between the two figures.
Amasis would send one of his eunuchs to capture Phanes, but the eunuch is bested by the wise council man and Phanes flees to Persia, meeting up with Cambyses providing advice in his invasion of Egypt.
