and with notes�察�by Morris H。 Morgan�察�p。 76。 

     On occasions when the display takes place in the hippodrome�撮�16�А�the 

best arrangement would be�察�in the first place�察�that the troops should fill the 

entire space with extended front�察�so forcing out the mob of people from 

the centre�撮�17�А�and secondly�察�that in the sham fight��18�А�which ensues�察�the 

tribal squadrons�察�swiftly pursuing and retiring�察�should gallop right across 

and   through   each   other�察  �the   two   hipparchs   at   their   head�察  �each   with   five 

squadrons   under   him。   Consider   the   effect   of   such   a   spectacle�此  �the   grim 

advance of rival squadrons front to front�察�the charge�察�the solemn pause as�察�

having   swept   across   the   hippodrome�察  �they   stand   once   more   confronting 

one    another�察    �and   then   the   trumpet     sounds�察   �whereat     a  second     and   yet 

swifter hostile advance�察�how fine the   effect��and once again   they are   at 

the halt�察�and once again the trumpet sounds�察�and for the third time�察�at the 

swiftest   pace   of   all�察  �they   make   a   final   charge   across   the   field�察  �before 

dismissal�察�after which they come to a halt en masse�察�in battle order�察�and�察�as 

now     customary�撮�19�А      �ride   up   to  salute    the  senate�察   �and   disband。     These 

evolutions   will   at   once   approve   themselves�察  �I   think�察  �not   only   for   their 

novelty�察  �but   for   their   resemblacne   to   real   warfare。   The   notion   that   the 

hipparch is to ride at a slower pace than his phylarchs�察�and to handle his 

horse precisely in their style�察�seems to me below the dignity of the office。 

     ��16�А�In the hippodrome near Munychia�察�I suppose。

the   central   space�察  �beautiful   to   。   。   。; The   new   feature   of   the     review

parts�察   �down     to  the   customary      advance     of  the   whole     corps�察        。�epi

     When the cavalry parade takes place on the hard´trodden��20�А�ground

off   his   horse   at   any   moment�察  �the   trooper   should�察  �in   charging�察  �lean   well 

back�撮�21�А�and to prevent his charger stumbling�察�he should while wheeling 

hold his head well up�察�but along a straight stretch he should force the pace。

     To   pass   to   a   different   topic�此  �on   the   march�察  �the   general   will   need   to
