[95] ἔνιοι δέ, μηδὲ διώκοντος μηδενὸς ὅτι μὴ φόβου, τὰ νῶτα τοῖς ἀντιπάλοις εἰς βολὰς εὐσκόπους ἐπιστρέψουσιν, ὡς εὐμάρειαν εἶναι
πάντας ἡβηδὸν ἀναιρεθέντας πεσεῖν. „ἐξελεύσεται γὰρ ἄνθρωπος,“ φησὶν ὁ χρησμός, καὶ στραταρχῶν καὶ πολεμῶν ἔθνη μεγάλα καὶ πολυάνθρωπα χειρώσεται, τὸ ἁρμόττον ὁσίοις ἐπικουρικὸν ἐπιπέμψαντος τοῦ θεοῦ· τοῦτο δ’ ἐστὶ θάρσος ψυχῶν ἀκατάπληκτον καὶ σωμάτων ἰσχὺς κραταιοτάτη, ὧν καὶ θάτερον φοβερὸν ἐχθροῖς, ἄμφω δὲ εἰ συνέλθοι,
καὶ παντελῶς ἀνυπόστατα.

[95] Some will even flee when no one pursues at all except fear, turning their backs towards the enemy, so as to afford a full mark for shooting, so that it will be very easy for the whole army to fall, being slain to a man; for a man will come forth, ¹ says the word of God, leading a host and warring furiously, who will subdue great and populous nations, God sending that assistance which is suitable for pious men; and ²³ this assistance is an intrepid hardihood of soul, and an irresistible strength of body, either of which things is formidable to the enemy, and if both qualities are united they are completely invincible.
