τοσούτων δὲ ὄντων καὶ τοιούτων σχηματισμῶν ἑπόμενον ἂν εἴη τοῖς περὶ αὐτῶν ἐπιέναι προστάγμασι, καθʼ ἃ σχηματίζειν τε αὐτὰ καὶ κινεῖν δυνησόμεθα καὶ ἀποκαθιστάνειν εἰς τὴν προϋπάρχουσαν τάξιν. τοῦτο γὰρ ἦν ἔτι λειπόμενον. ὅτʼ ἂν μὲν οὖν ἐπὶ δόρυ τὰ συντάγματα ἐπιστρέφειν βουλώμεθα, παραγγελοῦμεν τὸν ἐπὶ τοῦ δεξιοῦ λόχον ἡσυχίαν ἄγειν, ἕκαστον δὲ τῶν ἐν τοῖς ἄλλοις λόχοις ἐπὶ δόρυ κλῖναι, προσάγειν τε ἐπὶ τὸ δεξιόν, εἶτα εἰς ὀρθὸν ἀποδοῦναι, ἔπειτα προσάγειν τὰ ὀπίσω ζυγά, καὶ ταύτης γενομένης τῆς πυκνώσεως ἐπιστρέφειν ἐπὶ δόρυ, καὶ ἔσται τὸ σύνταγμα ἐπεστραμμένον.
