Book 2. IV. On creating panic in the enemy's ranks.
12 Against overwhelming forces of the enemy's cavalry Croesus once opposed a troop of camels. At the strange appearance and smell of these beasts, the horses were thrown into panic, and not merely threw their riders, but also trampled the ranks of their own infantry under foot, thus delivering them into the hands of the enemy to defeat.
Libro 2. IV Come creare il panico nell'esercito nemico
12 Creso contro la formidabile cavalleria nemica oppose un branco di cammelli: i cavalli impauriti dal loro aspetto e dall'odore che emanavano, non solo disarcionarono i cavalieri ma scomposero anche le fila della propria fanteria e le offrirono alle mani del nemico per la sconfitta.
