Xenophon [writes]: "this presented an opportunity to grasp how Klearchos used to manage [the men], with a spear in his left hand and a staff in his right".2

Ἐπεστάτει· ἦρχεν, ἡγεμόνευεν. Ξενοφῶν· ἐνταῦθα ἦν Κλέαρχον καταμαθεῖν ὡς ἐπεστάτει ἐν μὲν τῇ ἀριστερᾷ χειρὶ δόρυ ἔχων, ἐν δὲ τῇ δεξιᾷ βακτηρίαν.
