78 5 | that the enemy does not know his business, rather, if
79 5 | depicted, so that he will know the places, the numbers,
80 5 | characteristics. And in getting to know this, in diverse ways one

102 6 | Maximus to remain safe. You know how Coriolanus, when he
103 6 | arises among the soldiers, to know how to extinguish it with

118 7 | generally to remind you, and I know I could have told you of
119 7 | such an introduction. I know I should have enlarged more
120 7 | man than one who should know how to do all those things
121 7 | enough for him if he did not know how to find them out by
122 7 | first prepare themselves to know how to do it in order to
123 7 | whether or not I would know how to bring the army to
124 7 | whence you have been able to know how much time I have consumed
