Aelian [writes]: "leaping straight away over the trenches, one named Clatius threw his hands on Hasdrubal's ship as it was hastening to flee and vigorously kept hold of the stern."2
And Aristophanes [writes]: "[it is] not possible to escape the notice of the Paphlagonian. For he oversees everything; for he has one leg in Pylos, the other in the assembly. So great is the stance of him when he has stepped across that his ass-hole is exactly amongst Chaonians."3 Meaning absolutely truly, no kidding. The Chaonians [are] a people of Epirus.
