Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Exercises in Greek Prose Composition: Adapted to the First Book of Xenophon's Anabasis
Do not ask (37) a leader of him whose enterprise you are ruining. He pointed out the folly of those who exhorted (them) to ask for boats. After this person, others stood up, showing how foolish it would be to go to the doors of the general and demand pay, just as though he would not give it when due. Iam ashamed of my folly in urging you to preoccupy the pass without the knowledge of the Greeks. I saw many reasons why they would not neglect themselves.
