γίνεται δὲ ἐκ τῶν τοιούτων σχηματισμῶν φάλαγξ τοτὲ μὲν τετράγωνος, τοτὲ δὲ παραμήκης καὶ ἤτοι πλαγία, ὅτʼ ἂν τὸ μῆκος τοῦ βάθους πολλαπλάσιον ᾖ, ἢ ὀρθία ὅτʼ ἂν ἀνάπαλιν τὸ βάθος τοῦ μήκους· τούτων δʼ ἀνὰ μέσον ἡ λοξή, ἡ θἄτερον κέρας πλησίον ἔχουσα τῶν πολεμίων καὶ ἐν αὐτῷ τὸν ἀγῶνα ποιουμένη, θἄτερον δʼ ἐν ἀποστάσει διʼ ὑποστολῆς ἔχουσα, δεξιὰ μὲν ἡ τὸ δεξιὸν προβεβλημένη, λαιὰ δὲ ἡ τὸ λαιόν.
