So Cyrus went on again: “Well, seeing that it suits you better to be silent than to reply to this question, tell me1 whether you thought you were wronged in any way because, when you did not think it safe to pursue, I excused you from a share in that peril and asked you to let some of your cavalry go with me. For if I did wrong also in asking that, and that, too, when I had previously given you my own services as an ally, that is yours to prove.”
