[8]
εὐπορώτατα δὲ καὶ ἐκεῖνα Λακεδαιμόνιοι ποιοῦσι τὰ τοῖς ὁπλομάχοις πάνυ δοκοῦντα χαλεπὰ εἶναι: ὅταν μὲν γὰρ ἐπὶ κέρως πορεύωνται, κατ᾽ οὐρὰν δήπου ἐνωμοτία ἐνωμοτίᾳ ἕπεται: ἐὰν δ᾽ ἐν τῷ τοιούτῳ ἐκ τοῦ ἐναντίου πολεμία φάλαγξ ἐπιφανῇ, τῷ ἐνωμοτάρχῳ παρεγγυᾶται εἰς μέτωπον παρ᾽ ἀσπίδα καθίστασθαι, καὶ διὰ παντὸς οὕτως, ἔστ᾽ ἂν ἡ φάλαγξ ἐναντία καταστῇ. ἤν γε μὴν οὕτως ἐχόντων ἐκ τοῦ ὄπισθεν οἱ πολέμιοι ἐπιφανῶσιν, ἐξελίττεται ἕκαστος ὁ στίχος, ἵνα οἱ κράτιστοι ἐναντίοι ἀεὶ τοῖς πολεμίοις ὦσιν.
