alius removisset hostiam, abiecisset altaria, lacrimis respersa tura disiecisset: Xenophontis corpus religione immobile stetit et animus in consilio prudentiae stabilis mansit, ac dolori succumbere ipsa clade quae nuntiata erat tristius duxit.
Another man would have removed the victim, thrown down the altar, scattered the incense sprinkled with tears, but Xenophons body stayed motionless in the practice of religion and his mind remained stable on the advisory board of wisdom. Yielding to grief to his thinking would be sadder than the reported calamity.
