To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was therefore decided that An- tipater with a small part of the army should continue his march to Kilikia, while Eraterus with a force consisting of two thousand infantry and two thousand horse — all Mace- donians — should hasten, with Neoptolemus, against Eumenes. Eumenes was not unprepared for action. He was fully aware of the expedition, and knew well that the name alone of Kraterus was sufficient to cause his utter ruin. Accord- ingly, he propagated the report that Neoptolemus and Pigris..., both of whom had been recently defeated, were advancing again with some Eappadokian and Paphlagonian horse. Thus, when the two armies came in view, not one of the soldiers of Eumenes, nor even his principal officers and captains, knew with what adversary they had to contend. In the morning of the battle, Kraterus, calling an assem- bly of his soldiers, exhorted them to behave like brave men ; promising at the same time an easy victory, because the Macedonians, he said, now in the ranks of that traitor yon- der, would not continue in strife against their compatriots and ancient leader.
