Translation

Xenophon [writes]: "we should also have straps [sc. for the pack-men and -animals]; for when these wear out and break everything comes to a standstill, unless one has spares".

Greek original · Adler’s text

Περίζυγα· Ξενοφῶν· ἔχειν δὲ χρὴ καὶ ἱμάντας· τούτων γὰρ τριβομένων καὶ ῥηγνυμένων ἀνάγκη ἀργεῖν, ἢν μή τις ἔχῃ περίζυγα.
