Duarum nobilissimarum bello gentium exercitus pari Marte pugnabant;  Lacedaemonii vetera, Macedones praesentia decora intuebantur, illi pro libertate, hi pro dominatione pugnabant, Lacedaemoniis dux, Macedonibus locus  deerat.
The armies of the two nations most famed in war were fighting  on even terms; the Lacedaemonians had an eye to their ancient, the Macedonians to their present glory, the one side was fighting for freedom, the other, for dominion, the Lacedaemonians lacked a  leader, the Macedonians room for fighting.
