ἔδοξε δ᾽ αὐτῷ, ὃ κράτιστον εἰκὸς ἦν εἶναι τῆς δυνάμεως, ὄντων τῶν βελτίστων ἐπὶ τοῖς ἅρμασι, τοῦτο ἐν ἀκροβολιστῶν μέρει εἶναι καὶ εἰς τὸ κρατεῖν οὐδὲν μέγα βάρος συμβάλλεσθαι. ἅρματα γὰρ τριακόσια τοὺς μὲν μαχομένους παρέχεται τριακοσίους, ἵπποις δ᾽ οὗτοι χρῶνται διακοσίοις καὶ χιλίοις: ἡνίοχοι δ᾽ αὐτοῖς εἰσὶ μὲν ὡς εἰκὸς οἷς μάλιστα πιστεύουσιν, οἱ βέλτιστοι: ἄλλοι δὲ εἰσὶ τριακόσιοι οὗτοι, οἳ οὐδ᾽ ὁτιοῦν τοὺς πολεμίους βλάπτουσι.
