  • ὁ μὲν οὖν Κῦροσ δειπνίσασ τοὺσ Πέρσασ, ἐπεὶ συνεσκότασε, κατὰ πεμπάδασ καὶ κατὰ δεκάδασ πολλοὺσ αὐτῶν διέπεμψε καὶ ἐκέλευσε κύκλῳ τοῦ στρατοπέδου κρυπτεύειν, νομίζων ἅμα μὲν φυλακὴν ἔσεσθαι, ἄν τισ ἔξωθεν προσίῃ, ἅμα δέ, ἄν τισ ἔξω φέρων χρήματα ἀποδιδράσκῃ, ἁλώσεσθαι αὐτόν· (Xenophon, Cyropaedia, , chapter 5 6:1)
