of Cyrus to this panegyric (cf. J.
P.).

C2.32. Prolix, Xenophontic.

C3.6 ff. Here also I feel the mind of Xenophon shimmering under
various lights. The _Cyropaedia_ is shot with Orientalism. Homeric
Epicism--antique Hellenism and modern Hellenism are both there. Spartan
simplicity and Eastern quaintness both say their say. In this passage
the biblical element seems almost audible.

C3.7. This is in the grand style, Oriental, dilatory, ponderous,
savouring of times when battles were affairs of private arrangement
between monarchs and hedged about by all the punctilios of an affair of
honour.

C3.12. N.B.--The archic man shows a very ready wit and inventiveness in
the great art of "grab" in war, though as he said to his father he was
"a late learner" in such matters. Cf. in modern times the duties of a
detective or some such disagreeable office. G. O. Trevelyan as Irish
secretary. Interesting for _war ethics_ in the abstract, and for
Xenophon's view, which is probably Hellenic. Cyrus now has the
opportunity of carrying out the selfish decalogue, the topsy-turvy
morality set forth in I. C.6, C.26 ff.

C3.13. Cf. Old Testament for the sort of subterfuges and preparations,
e.g. the Gibeonites.

C3.15. The archic man has no time. Cyrus {ou skholazei}. Cf. J. P. It
comes from energy combined with high gifts of organisation, economic,
architectonic.

C3.19. Nice, I think, this contrasting of spiritual and natural
productiveness.

C3.32. Here is the rule of conduct clearly expressed, nor do I see how a
military age could frame for itself any other. Christianity only emerged
_sub pace Romana_, which for fraternal brotherhood was the fullness of
time; and even in the commercial age the nations tumble back practically
into the old system.

C3.36 ff. An army on forced march: are there any novelties here?

C3.53. These minute details probably not boring at the time, but
interesting rather, perhaps useful.

C4.13. Cyrus resembles Fawcett in his unselfish self-estimate. Gadatas
is like the British public, or hgd.

C4.16. Here we feel that the Assyrian is not a mere weakling: he can
play his part well enough if he gets a good chance. It needs an Archic
and Strategic Man to overpower him.

C4.17. ANCIENT and MODERN parallelism in treatment of wounded.

C4.24. Hellenic war ethics: non-combatant tillers of the soil to be let
alone. Is this a novelty? If not, what is the prototype? Did the modern
rights of non-combata
