Trying to understand when and when not to take a
passage as "indirect discourse" is harder than I had
thought.
hOTI here does not indicate "indirect discourse" per
Culy/Parsons. Translating this final part:
and discovered that (he was) from Cilicia,
But he had just asked (EPERWTHSAS) his subordinates,
"What province is he from?" I would have thought
someone answered, "he is from Cilicia." And that would
become APO KILIKIAS in indirect discourse, or so I
would think. Why is this not indirect discourse?

I think that Mikeal Parsons and I were attempting to point out that the use
of OTI with this verb points to its less typical sense, "to learn/discover,"
rather than its more typical sense as a verb of speech. PUQOMENOS would,
however, then serve as a "verb of cognition" (like OIDA). Since OTI is
typically said to introduce "indirect discourse" with such verbs, the note
in Culy/Parsons is therefore misleading.
