Or what king, going to war with another king, will not first take thought if he will be strong enough, with ten thousand men, to keep off him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

Η τις βασιλευς υπαγων να πολεμηση αλλον βασιλεα δεν καθηται προτερον και σκεπτεται εαν ηναι δυνατος με δεκα χιλιαδας να απαντηση τον ερχομενον κατ' αυτου με εικοσι χιλιαδας;

Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
