Translation

Meaning in his favour. "Considering that the present circumstances with regard to the enemy were not against him but for him, [Fabius] turned his attention to Marcus, eager to put a stop to his daring and anticipate his offensive".1

Greek original · Adler’s text

Πρὸς αὐτοῦ· ἀντὶ τοῦ ὑπὲρ αὐτοῦ. ὁ δὲ οὐ κατ' αὐτοῦ, ἀλλὰ πρὸς αὐτοῦ εἶναι νομίσας τὰ συμβαίνοντα περὶ τοὺς ἐναντίους ἐγίνετο περὶ τὸν Μάρκον, σπουδάζων τὴν τόλμαν ἀφελέσθαι καὶ προκαταλαβεῖν αὐτοῦ τὴν ὁρμήν.
