Thus, If There Is Anyone Who Is Confident That He Can Advise Me As To The Best Advantage Of The State In This Campaign Which I Am About To Conduct, Let Him Not Refuse His Services To The State, But Come With Me Into Macedonia. I Will Furnish Him With His Sea-passage, With A Horse, A Tent, And Even Travel-funds. If Anyone Is Reluctant To Do This And Prefers The Leisure Of The City To The Hardships Of Campaigning, Let Him Not Steer The Ship From On Shore.
