[160] ἔν γε μὴν ταῖς θηριομαχίαις οὐκ εὐθὺς οἱ ταῦροι τοὺς ἀντιτεταγμένους
ἀναπείρουσιν, ἀλλ’ εὖ μάλα διαβάντες καὶ μετρίως τὸν αὐχένα χαλάσαντες καὶ θάτερον ἐκκλίναντες καὶ ταυρωπὸν ὄντως ἀποβλεψάμενοι τηνικαῦτα ἐπίασιν, ἔργου ἑξόμενοι. τὸ δὲ γινόμενον ὄρουσιν ἐκάλεσαν, οἷς ὀνοματοποιεῖν ἔθος, ὁρμήν τινα πρὸ ὁρμῆς ὑπάρχουσαν. 30

[160] And in the battles which take place with wild beasts, the bulls do not at once gore the adversaries who are opposed to them, but standing well apart, and relaxing their neck in a moderate degree and bending their heads on one side, and looking fierce, as it were, they then, after a truce, rush on with the determination of persevering in the contest. And this sort of conduct those who are in the habit of inventing new words call "sparring," being a sort of sham attack before the real one.
