1 CVII. And blind parts of his body] “Cœcum corpus.” Imitated from Xenophon, Cyrop. iii. 3, 45: Μωρὸν γὰρ τὸ κρατεῖν βουλομένους, τὰ τυφλὰ, τοὐ σώματος, καὶ ἄοπλα, καὶ ἄχειρα, ταῦτα ἐναντία τάττειν τοῖς πολευίοις φεύγοντας. "It is folly for those that desire to conquer, to turn the blind, unarmed, and handless parts of the body, to the enemy in flight."
2 As being an instrument of his father's hostility] “Quoniam hostilia faceret.” “"Since he wished to deceive the Romans by pretended friendship."” Müller
