    Original Text :καί λέγων ἅμα ταῦτα, τὴν ἀσπίδα λαβὼν ἡγεῖτο πρῶτος ὥσπερ ἐπὶ νίκην πρόδηλον. οἱ δ᾽ εἵποντο τεθαρρηκότες, ἔλαττον ἢ τριάκοντα σταδίους ἔτι τῶν πολεμίων ἀπέχοντες. ὡς δὲ καί τούτους διῆλθον, ἐπιπίπτουσιν αὐτοῖς ταραττομένοις καί φεύγουσιν ὡς πρῶτον ᾔσθοντο προσιόντας
     
    Translation :And as he thus spoke, he took his shield, put himself at the head, and led the soldiers on as if to certain victory. And they followed, emboldened by his example, being now distant from the enemy less than thirty furlongs. And when they had traversed these too, they fell upon the enemy, who were confounded and took to flight as soon as they perceived them coming up;
