5. indeed then/there Cyrus feared lest the King might cut down the Greek army
6. the soldiers did not hear that he led them
7. they were asking Cyrus what he might wish to use the army for
(orginal: [size=150]τί βούλει τῇ στρατιᾷ χρῆσθαι;[/size]
8. and Cyrus said the way would be towards the Great King
(original: [size=150]ἡ ὁδὸς ἔσται πρὸς βασιλέα μέγαν[/size]
9. but I will delay lest the messengers fear that we will not make the truce
10. the snow hid both the men and their weapons
11. the generals ordered (them) to bury the men
12. he said that in this way they might inflict some evil on those at home
(original: [size=150]οὕτως ἂν τοὺς οἴκοι κακόν τι εἰργάσαντο[/size]
575
[size=167]α. ὁ Ὀρόντας, νομίσας τοὺς ἱππεὶς ἑτοίμους εἶναι, ἔγραψεν ἐπιστολὴν παρὰ βασιλέα β. εἴπον ὅτι ἐλπίδας καλὰς καὶ πολλὰς ἔχομεν νίκης ..ἤ.. ἔχοιμεν νίκης γ. αὐτοὺς κελεύει σκέπτεσθαι τί ἐστιν τὸ κωλῦον ..ἤ.. τί εἴη τὸ κωλῦον δ. στράτευμα συνέλεξεν ἀπὸ τῶν χρημάτων τούτων ε. ὁ σατράπης ἔλεξεν ὅτι Κῦρος βασιλεῖ ἐπιβεβούλευκεν ..ἤ.. ἐπιβεβουλεύκοι[/size]
576
I will teach you into what sort of struggle you are going: for the number of barbarians is numerous, and they attack (come up) with much shouting – if you endure this, in-every-other-way/as-to-all-else, I am ashamed (to say/think) what sort of men my countrymen are. But if you be (truly) men and my affairs work out well, (then) I will make, those of you who wish to return home, an object of envy – but I think many will wish to remain with me.
