καὶ Σπαρτιατῶν μὲν παντάπασιν ὀλίγους τεθνάναι, Κορινθίων δὲ καὶ Ἀθηναίων καὶ τῶν ἄλλων συμμάχων αὐτοῖς παμπόλλους, οὐκ ὤφθη περιχαρὴς; [p. 110] οὐδ᾽ ἐπηρμένος τῇ νίκῃ, ἀλλὰ καὶ πάνυ βαρὺ στενάξας ‘φεῦ τᾶς Ἑλλάδος’ ἔφη ‘ἣ τοσούτους ὑφ᾽ αὑτᾶς ἀπολώλεκεν, ὅσοις ἀρκεῖ τὼς βαρβάρως νικᾶν ἅπαντας.’
Φαρσαλίων δὲ προσκειμένων καὶ κακουργούντων αὐτοῦ τὸ στράτευμα, πεντακοσίοις ἱππεῦσι τρεψάμενος αὐτοὺς τρόπαιον ἔστησεν ὑπὸ τῷ Ναρθακίῳ: καὶ τὴν νίκην ἐκείνην πάντων ὑπερηγάπησεν, ὅτι συστησάμενος τὸ ἱππικὸν αὐτὸς δι᾽ ἑαυτοῦ, τούτῳ μόνῳ τοὺς μέγιστον ἐφ᾽ ἱππικῇ φρονοῦντας ἐκράτησε.
