     One   thing   I   am   prepared   to   insist   on�此  �it   is   clear   to   myself   that   by 

Heaven's help our total cavalry force might be much more quickly raised 

to the full quota of a thousand troopers�撮�3�А�and with far less friction to the 

mass of citizens�察�by the enrolment of two hundred foreign cavalry。 Their 

acquisition will be doubly helpful�察�as intensifying the loyalty of the entire 

force and as kindling a mutual ambition to excel in manly virtue。

     I can state on my own knowledge that the Lacedaemonian cavalry only 

began to be famous��4�А�with the introduction of foreign troopers�察�and in the 

other     states  of   Hellas    everywhere       the  foreign    brigades     stand    in  high 

esteem�察  �as   I   perceive。   Need�察  �in   fact�察  �contributes   greatly   to   enthusiasm。 

Towards the necessary cost of the horses I hold that an ample fund will be 

provided�撮�5�А�partly out of the pockets   of those   who are only  too glad to 

escape      cavalry    service    ��in   other   words�察    �those    on   whom      the   service 

devolves prefer to pay a sum of money down and be quit of the duty���撮�6�А�

and from wealthy men who are physically incompetent�察�and I do not see 

why orphans possessed of large estates should not contribute。��7�А�Another 

belief I hold is that amongst our resident aliens��8�А�there are some who will

show a laudable ambition if incorporated with the cavalry。 I argue from the 

fact�察�apparent to myself�察�that amongst this class persons are to be found 

most zealously disposed to carry out the part assigned to them�察�in every 

other branch of honourable service which the citizens may choose to share 

with them。 Again�察�it strikes me that if you seek for an energetic infantry to 

support your cavalry�察�you will find it in a corps composed of individuals 

whose   hatred   to   the   foe   is   naturally   intense。��9�А  �But   the   success   of   the 

above      suggestions     will   depend     doubtless     on   the   consenting     will   of
