τὰ μὲν οὖν εἴδη τῆς τελείας δυνάμεως καὶ τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν ἐν αὐτῇ ταγμάτων εἴρηται· ἑξῆς δὲ περὶ τῶν ὀνομάτων ἀκόλουθον λέγειν, οἷς χρώμενοι μεταρρυθμίζουσιν οἱ στρατηγοὶ τὰς φάλαγγας· φασὶ γὰρ τὸ μέν τι κλίσιν ἐπὶ δόρυ ἢ ἐπʼ ἀσπίδα, τὸ δὲ μεταβολὴν καὶ ἐπιστροφήν, ἄλλο καὶ ἀναστροφήν, ἕτερον καὶ περισπασμὸν καὶ ἐκπερισπασμόν, ἀποκατάστασίν τε καὶ ἐπικατάστασιν, στοιχεῖν τε καὶ ζυγεῖν καὶ εἰς ὀρθὸν ἀποδοῦναι καὶ ἐξελίσσειν καὶ διπλασιάζειν· φασὶ δέ τι καὶ ἐπαγωγὴν καὶ παραγωγὴν δεξιὰν ἢ λαιὰν καὶ πλαγίαν φάλαγγα καὶ ὀρθίαν καὶ λοξήν, καὶ παρεμβολὴν καὶ παρένθεσιν, πρόταξίν τε καὶ ὑπόταξιν καὶ ἐπίταξιν, ὧν ἕκαστον ὅ τι σημαίνει, δηλῶσαι διὰ βραχέων πειρασόμεθα.
