[47]
πῶς οὖν,’ ὁ Μακέντης ἔφη, ‘ χρησόμεθα τοῖς
παροῦσι ; '’
‘διελώμεθα,’ ἔφη ὁ Λογχάτης,
[p. 178]
‘τὸ ἔργον: καὶ ἐγὼ μὲν ὑπισχνοῦμαι Ἀρσακόμᾳ τὴν κεφαλὴν κομιεῖν τὴν ^ Λευκάνορος, σὲ δὲ χρὴ τὴν νύμφην ἐπανάγειν αὐτῷ.’
‘οὕτω ^ γινέσθω,’ ἔφη: ‘σὺ δέ, ὦ Ἀρσακόμα, ἐν τοσούτῳ — εἰκὸς γὰρ καὶ στρατιᾶς καὶ πολέμου τὸ μετὰ
τοῦτο δεήσειν — ἡμᾶς αὐτοῦ περιμένων συνάγειρε καὶ παρασκεύαζε ὅπλα καὶ ἵππους καὶ τὴν ἄλλην δύναμιν ὡς πλείστην. ῥᾷστα δ᾽ ἂν πολλοὺς
προσαγάγοις αὐτός τε ἀγαθὸς ὢν καὶ ἡμῖν οὐκ ὀλίγων
ὄντων οἰκείων, μάλιστα δὲ εἰ καθέζοιο ἐπὶ τῆς βύρσης τοῦ βοός.’ ἔδοξε ταῦτα, καὶ ὁ μὲν ἐχώρει
ὡς εἶχεν εὐθὺς ἐπὶ τοῦ Βοσπόρου, ὁ Λογχάτης,
ὁ Μακέντης δὲ ἐπὶ τοὺς Μάχλυας, ἱππότης ἑκάτερος,
ὁ δὲ Ἀρσακόμας οἴκοι μένων τοῖς τε ἡλικιώταις διελέγετο καὶ ὥπλιζε δύναμιν παρὰ τῶν οἰκείων, τέλος δὲ καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς βύρσης ἐκαθέζετο.
