Strona 48 - Delhi, the capital city, is in fact collected in the camp, because, deriving its employment and maintenance from the court and army, it has no alternative but to follow them in their march or to perish from want during their absence.
Strona 384 - Themi sickle's, am come to thee, having done to thy house more mischief than any other Greek, as long as I was compelled in my own defence to resist the attack of thy father — but having also done him yet greater good, when I could do so with safety to myself, and when his retreat was endangered. Reward is yet owing to me for my past service...
Strona 335 - In respect to thickness, however, his ideas were exactly followed: two carts meeting one another brought stones, which were laid together right and left on the outer side of each, and thus formed two primary parallel walls, between which the interior space (of course at least as broad as the joint breadth of the two carts) was filled np, not with rubble, in the usual manner of the Greeks, but constructed, through the whole thickness, of squared stones, cramped together with metal.
