[94] ἢ κἂν μεμηνότες τινὲς ᾄττωσιν ἀκαθέκτῳ καὶ ἀπαρηγορήτῳ χρώμενοι τῇ τοῦ πολεμεῖν ἐπιθυμίᾳ, μέχρι μὲν συνίστανται, καταλαζονεύσονται θρασυνόμενοι, πρὸς δὲ χειρῶν ἅμιλλαν ἥκοντες
αἰσθήσονται κενὸν αὔχημα αὐχήσαντες, ὡς μὴ δυνάμενοι νικᾶν· ῥώμῃ γὰρ ἀντιβιασθέντες κραταιοτέρᾳ φεύξονται προτροπάδην πρὸς πεντάδων ἑκατοντάδες καὶ πρὸς ἑκατοντάδων μυριάδες, πολλαῖς ὁδοῖς οἱ κατὰ μίαν ἐπελθόντες.

[94] And even if some men are in their frenzy driven to quarrel, indulging their spontaneous and implacable desire for war, until indeed they are actually engaged, they will, being full of confidence, behave with great insolence, but after they have once come to a regular contest they will then find that they have made an empty boast, and that they are unable to gain the victory; for as they will be repelled by force equal to their own, ¹ or even more powerful still, they will flee in great confusion, a hundred fleeing before five, and a host of ten thousand before a hundred men, and those who had come by one road fleeing by a great number.
