Translation
[A term used] in reference to movements in a battle-line.1 "And the first [sc. squadron of] cavalry drove by in formation and with good order; then they were divided and standing opposite each other they demonstrated their fighting manoeuvres. And then there took place certain runnings-through in full armor and evolutions and flank-marchings."2

Διαδρομαί· ἐπὶ τῶν ἐπὶ παρατάξει κινημάτων. καὶ ἥ γε ἵππος παρήλασε πρώτη εὐτάκτως τε καὶ σὺν κόσμῳ, εἶτα διῃρέθησαν καὶ ἀλλήλοις ἀντιπρόσωποι στάντες μαχομένων σχήματα ἐπεδείξαντο. κᾆτα ἐνόπλιοι διαδρομαί τινες ἐγίνοντο καὶ ἐξελίξεις καὶ περίοδοι.
