Perdicca, nuntiato satellitum adventu, sedecim omnino pueris regiae cohortis comitatus, in limine domus suae constitit, castigatosque et Meleagri mancipia identidem appellans, sic animi vultusque constantia terruit, ut vix mentis compotes  fugerint.
Perdiccas, when the arrival of the messengers was known, attended only by sixteen youths of the royal cohort, took his place on the threshold of his house, and after upbraiding the messengers and repeatedly calling them slaves of Meleager, he so terrified them by the firmness of his courage and his expression, that they fled almost  beside themselves.
