(the attendants) to
pour into the cup for the young men. The former mode is the more simple,
[Greek: keleuo] being sometimes found with the dative, and agrees better
with what follows.]

[Footnote 196: [Greek: Stephanosamenos].] According to the custom of the
Lacedaemonians, of which Xenophon speaks de Repub. Lacedaem. 13. 8;
Hellen. iv. 2. 12; see also Plutarch, Lycurg. c. 22. _Schneider_.]

[Footnote 197: [Greek: Tous lochous orthious].] See iv. 2. 11.]

[Footnote 198: [Greek: Esphagizouto eis ton potamon].] Offering a
sacrifice to the gods inhabiting the river, as Alexander in the middle
of the Hellespont sacrificed a bull to Neptune and the Nereids: see
Arrian i. 11. 10, cited by Hutchinson. "They slew the animals so as to
allow the blood to flow into the river." _Poppo_.]

[Footnote 199: [Greek: Ton poron].] The ford mentioned in sect. 5, 6.]

[Footnote 200: Behind the enemy. _Kuehner_. Or behind the cavalry that
were pursuing the enemy.]

[Footnote 201: Those mentioned in sect. 3.]

[Footnote 202: [Greek: Epi phalangos].] This disposition of a company
was in opposition to [Greek: lochoi orthioi] (iv. 2. 11): see c. 8,
sect, 10. The expression [Greek: epi phalangos], says Kuehner, properly
means _for a phalanx_, or _so that a phalanx_ (or _acies_) _might be
formed_.]

[Footnote 203: [Greek: Dienkylomenous].] The verb [Greek:
dienkylousthai] is rightly interpreted by Hesychius [Greek: to eneirai
tous daktylous te ankyle] (h. e. amento) [Greek: tou akontiou]. _Sturz_.
The following [Greek: epibeblemenous] must be similarly explained.]

[Footnote 204: [Greek: Aspis psophe].] From the enemy's missiles
striking upon it. _Kuehner_. Hutchinson, Weiske, and Zeune think that a
clashing of shields on the part of the Greeks is meant, preparatory to
an onset; but, without doubt, erroneously.]

[Footnote 205: Or, _sound a charge_. The design of it was to precipitate
the enemy's flight. Compare sect. 32.]

CHAPTER IV.

The Greeks enter Armenia, pass the sources of the Tigris, and
arrive at the Teleboas. They make a treaty with Tiribazus, the
governor of the province, and discover his insincerity.

1. When they had crossed, and had ranged themselves in order about noon,
they proceeded through the country of Armenia, consisting wholly of
plains and gently sloping hills, a distance of not less than five
parasangs; for there were no villages near the river, in consequence of
the hostilities wi
