νέφους ἐκείνων. εἴποιμεν δ’ ἂν αὐτοῖς· οὐδεμίαν, ὦ γενναῖοι, φρουρὰν ἄρχοντος ὁ νομοθέτης ὑποτέμνεται οὐδὲ τὸ συλλεχθὲν αὐτῷ στράτευμα ἀκρωτηριάζει τῆς δυνάμεως τὸ ἀνυσιμώτερον, τὴν ἱππικὴν δύναμιν, ἀποκόπτων, ἀλλ’ ὡς οἷόν τε πειρᾶται συναύξειν, ἵν’ εἴς τε ἰσχὺν καὶ πλῆθος ἐπιδόντες οἱ σύμμαχοι ῥᾷστα τοὺς ἐναντίους καθαιρῶσι.
