Sed haec propter hiemale tempus minus prospere procedebant. Audit Pisidas quosdam copias adversus se parare. Filium eo Arsidaeum cum exercitu mittit; cadit in proelio adulescens. Proficiscitur eo pater non ita cum magna manu, celans quantum vulnus accepisset, quod prius ad hostem pervenire cupiebat, quam de male re gesta fama ad suos perveniret, ne cognita filii morte animi debilitarentur militum.
But because of the winter season these preparations did not advance rapidly. Hearing that some of the Pisidians were arming troops against him, he sent his son Arsidaeus with an army to meet them, and the young man fell in the battle that followed. Then the father set out against them with not so very large a force, concealing the severe wound that he had suffered, because he wished to encounter the enemy before the report of the defeat came to his men, for fear that the news of his sons death might affect the soldiers spirits.
