verständlich zu werden, die Stimme immer lauter erhob.

LXXVI. Nicias, voyant l’abattement de l’armée et le changement qui s’y était opéré, parcourut les rangs pour distribuer des consolations et des encouragements appropriés aux circonstances. L’ardeur qui l’animait, le désir de faire parvenir le plus loin possible des conseils utiles, donnaient plus de force encore à sa voix, plus de retentissement aux paroles qu’il jetait à chacun de ceux qu’il approchait.
