Clearchus uero Lacedaemoniorum dux egregio dicto disciplinam militiae continebat, identidem exercitus sui auribus inculcando a militibus imperatorem potius quam hostem metui debere. quo aperte denuntiabat futurum ut spiritum poenae inpenderent, quem pugnae acceptum ferre dubitassent. idque a duce praecipi non mirabantur maternarum blanditiarum memores, quibus exituri ad proeliandum monebantur ut aut uiui cum armis in conspectum earum uenirent aut mortui in armis referrentur. hoc intra domesticos parietes accepto signo Spartanae acies dimicabant. sed aliena prospexisse tantum modo satis est, cum propriis multoque uberioribus et felicioribus exemplis gloriari liceat.
