knightly pageantry��9�А�will have been displayed to the delight of god and
man。 That our knights are not accustomed to these actual evolutions�察�I am
well aware�察�but I also recognise the fact that the performances are good
and beautiful and will give pleasure to spectators。 I do not fail to note�察�
moreover�察 �that novel feats of horsemanship have before now been
performed by our knights�察�when their commanders have had the ability to

theatre opposite�察 �it would�察 �I think�察 �be obviously useful here to show the
skill with which your troopers can gallop down a steep incline��13�А�with as
broad a front as the nature of the ground permits。 I am quite clear that your
troopers�察�if they can trust their own skill in galloping�察�will take kindly to
such an exhibition�察�while as certainly�察�if unpractised�察�they must look to it
that the enemy does not give them a lesson in the art some day�察�perforce。

To come to the test manouvres。��14�А�The order in which the men will
ride with showiest effect on these occasions has been already noted。��15�А�
As far as the leader is himself concerned�察�and presuming he is mounted on
a powerful horse�察�I would suggest that he should each time ride round on
the outer flank�察�in which case he will himself be kept perpetually moving
at a canter�察�and those with him�察�as they become the wheeling flank�察�will�察�
by turns�察�fall into the same pace�察�with this result�此�the spectacle presented to
the senate will be that of an ever rapidly moving stream of cavaliers�察�and
the horses having�察�each in turn�察�the opportunity to recover breath�察�will not
be overdone。

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。

When the cavalry parade takes place on the hard´trodden��20�А�ground
of the Academy�察�I have the following advice to give。 To avoid being jolted
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。

beauty and of safety。

To pass to a different topic�此 �on the march�察 �the general will need to
exercise a constant forethought to relieve the horses' backs and the
troopers' legs�察 �by a judicious interchange of riding and of marching。
Wherein consists the golden mean�察�will not be hard to find�察�since ;every
man a standard to himself�察┌�1�А�applies�察�and your sensations are an index to
prevent your fellows being overdone through inadvertence。
��1�А�The phrase is proverbial。 Cf。 Plat。 ;Theaet。; 183 B。
But now supposing you are on the march in some direction�察�and it is
uncertain whether you will stumble on the enemy�察�your duty is to rest your
squadrons in turn�察�since it will go hard with you�察 �if the enemy come to
close quarters when the whole force is dismounted。��2�А�Or�察�again�察�suppose
the roads are narrow�察�or you have to cross a defile�察�you will pass�察�by word
of mouth�察�the command to diminish the front�撮�3�А�or given�察�again�察�you are
