Ceterum, sicut curru eminebat, dextra laevaque ad circumstantia agmina oculos manusque circumferens: Terrarum inquit, quas Oceanus hinc alluit, illinc claudit Hellespontus, paulo ante dominis, iam non de gloria, sed de salute et, quod saluti praeponitis, libertate pugnandum est; hic dies imperium quo nulla amplius vidit aetas aut constituet aut finiet.
Then, standing aloft, as he did, in his chariot, and turning his eyes and stretching out his hands right and left to the troops who stood about him, he said: We, a short time since lords of the lands which on one side the Ocean laves, on the other the Hellespont embraces, must now fight, not for glory, but for life, and for what you value higher than life, for freedom; this day will establish or end the greatest empire any age has seen.
