ἀλλʼ ἐγὼ μέν, ἔφη ὁ Κῦρος, ὦ ἄνδρες, γιγνώσκω τοὺς τοιούτους ἀνθρώπους οἷον καὶ οὗτος νῦν λέγει, εἴπερ δεῖ ἐνεργὸν καὶ πειθόμενον ἔχειν τὸ στράτευμα, ἐξαιρετέους εἶναι ἐκ τῆς στρατιᾶς. δοκεῖ γάρ μοι τὸ μὲν πολὺ τῶν στρατιωτῶν εἶναι οἷον ἕπεσθαι ᾗ ἄν τις ἡγῆται· ἄγειν δʼ οἶμαι ἐπιχειροῦσιν οἱ μὲν καλοὶ κἀγαθοὶ ἐπὶ τὰ καλὰ κἀγαθά, οἱ δὲ πονηροὶ ἐπὶ τὰ πονηρά.
