[70] ὅταν μὲν οὖν εὐηνίως προέρχηται, καταψήχει ὁ ἱππεὺς ὡς ἂν ἐπαινῶν τὸν ἵππον, ὅταν δὲ σὺν πλείονι ὁρμῇ πέραν ἐκφέρηται τοῦ μετρίου, μετὰ βίας
εὐτόνως ἀναχαιτίζει, ὡς ὑπανεῖναι τοῦ τάχους· ἐὰν δὲ ἀπειθῶν ἐπιμένῃ, λαβὼν τοῦ χαλινοῦ ὅλον ἀντέσπασε καὶ ἀντιπεριήγαγεν αὐτοῦ τὸν αὐχένα, ὡς ἐξ ἀνάγκης στῆναι·

[70] While, therefore, the horse goes on in obedience to the rein, the horseman pats the horse, as if praising it; but when it goes on with too great impetuosity, and is carried away beyond moderation, then he pulls it back with force and vigour, so as to restrain its speed. But if the horse continue to be disobedient, then he takes the whole bridle, and pulls him back, and drags back his neck, so that he is compelled to stop.
