To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When his opponents were [2] prepared to join battle, it was not panic-stricken flight on their part that enabled him to defeat them: no, if he set up a victory trophy it was after overcoming his enemies in a close-fought battle. He not only bequeathed to future generations undying memorials of his bravery, but also bore off the field visible signs of the heat of the fighting,1 so that people could use their eyes to assess his character, rather than having to rely on listening to tales. In actual... fact one should really count all the campaigns he launched [3] rather than the victory trophies he set up, because even when his adversaries refused to fight he still overcame them, and did so with less risk and more benefit to the state and his allies. It is the same in athletic competitions too: those who go through uncontested2 win the garland just as much as those who have to fight for their victory. Turning to his skill, it is impossible to find any of his achievements [4] which do not display it.
