Macedo iusta arma sumpserat, aereum clipeum hastamque'sarisam vocant'laeva tenens, dextera lanceam gladioque cinctus, velut cum pluribus simul  dimicaturus; Dioxippus oleo nitens et coronatus, laeva puniceum amiculum, dextra validum nodosumque stipitem praeferebat.
The Macedonian had assumed his usual arms, holding in his left hand a bronze shield and a spear'they call it sarisa'in his right a lance, and girt with a sword, as if he were going to fight with  several men at once; Dioxippus, gleaming with oil and wearing a garland, displayed a purple cloth in his left hand, and in his right a stout knotted club.
