Translation
[Meaning] bravery.1
"For just as with the death[s] of Epaminondas and Pelopidas and Brasidas and Cleombrotus, historians are unable -- whether depicting their virtue in life or their stout-heartedness in death -- to find words worthy of the pioneering judgment of the men".2
And elsewhere: "[...] not to be fearful because the enemy were superior in numbers; for stout-heartedness always got the better of quantity".3
