ῥήτορος δέ τινος ἐπερωτῶντος αὐτὸν ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ, ‘τίς ὢν μέγα φρονεῖς; πότερον ἱππεὺς [p. 104] ἢ ὁπλίτης ¹ ἢ τοξότης ἢ πελταστής ²;’ ‘οὐδείς,’ ἔφη, ‘τούτων, ἀλλ᾽ ὁ πᾶσι τούτοις ἐπιστάμενος ἐπιτάττειν.’

1 ἱππεὺς ἢ ὁπλίτης Stobaeus, Florilegium, liv. 52: ἱππεὺς. Cf. Moralia, 440 b.

2 ἢ πελταστής Bernardakis: ἢ πελταστὴς ἢ πεζός or ἢ πεζὸς ἢ πελταστής; but it is not imperative that such readings be always consistent!
