Insultantesque nobis longius Persae, nunc de industria se diffundebant, aliquotiens confertius resistentes, ut procul conspicantibus viderentur advenisse iam regis auxilia, ideoque eos aestimaremus erupisse ad audaces excursus, et insolita temptamenta.
The Persians, too, began to harass us at long range, now purposely spreading out, sometimes opposing us in close order, so that from a distance it seemed as if the kings aid had already arrived; and we were led to think that it was for that reason that they had made such bold attacks and unusual attempts.
