Translation

[sc. Military] disposition is of two kinds: the one in the general, the other in the soldiers. And out of the disposition in the general comes the one in the soldiers.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Τάξις· ἡ τάξις διττή ἐστιν· ἡ μὲν ἐν τῷ στρατηγῷ, ἡ δὲ ἐν τοῖς στρατιώταις. καὶ ἐκ τῆς ἐν τῷ στρατηγῷ τάξεως γίνεται ἡ ἐν τοῖς στρατιώταις.
