Haec dicente Dareo, praesentis periculi species omnium simul corda animosque horrore perstrinxerat, nec aut consilium suppetebat aut vox, cum Artabazus, vetustissimus amicorum, quem hospitem fuisse Philippi supra diximus: Nos vero, inquit, pretiosissimam vestem induti armisque quanto maximo cultu possumus adornati, regem in aciem sequemur, ea quidem mente, ut victoriam speremus, mortem non recusemus.
As Darius said these words, the thought of the present peril cramped with horror the hearts and minds of all alike, and they were in doubt what to advise or to say, when Artabazus, the oldest of his friends, who, as I have said above, had been a guest of Philip, said: We certainly, clad in our richest apparel and adorned with the finest arms that we possess, will follow our king to battle, and that too with the intention of hoping for victory, yet not shrinking from death.
