[Those] gathered together, or quickly turning about.1
Procopius [writes]: "the battle had become fierce and at close range, and both sides were making quick-turning pursuits against each other."2
And elsewhere: "then you, deploying the phalanxes, becoming gathered together, are face to face with your pursuers."3
And elsewhere: "in the changeability of fortune."4
And Theramenes, being wily and changeable, caters to the moment, always giving himself to the stronger side.5
