They say
that many of the villages of Bithynia, which is at
present a province belonging to you, have been burnt; that the kingdom of Ariobarzanes, which
borders on those districts from which you derive a revenue, is wholly in the power of the

it is not enough that whoever succeeds him should be prepared for the conduct of so important
a war; that one general is demanded and required by all men, both allies and citizens, for
that war; that he alone is feared by the enemy, and that no one else is.
