“Someone, Tydides, from the enemy’s camp Is coming, either as a spy, or else To spoil the dead. First let us suffer him To pass us by a little on the plain, Then let us rush and seize him. Should his speed Be greater than our own, let us attack The fugitive with spears, and drive him on To where our ships are lying, from his camp, Lest, flying townward, he escape our hands.”
