Macedonum reges ita lustrare soliti erant milites, ut discissae canis viscera ultimo in campo in quem deduceretur exercitus ab utraque abicerent parte, intra id spatium armati omnes starent, hinc equites, illinc phalanx.
The kings of the Macedonians had been accustomed to purify the soldiers in the following manner; having disembowelled as dog in the farthest part of the plain into which they were going to lead the army, they throw the flesh on both sides; within that space all the soldiers stand under arms, on one side the cavalry, on the other  the phalanx.
