β | "I finished my fight against [[Mayhiros Tesos]] with a bitter taste in my mouth. It was not the exchange of blows - I but repaid his insults against me as befits one of my people - but rather the smallness of his ambitions that disturbed me. Every strike I turned aside rung against [[Hiparkes' Mirror]] with a man's strength, but not an ideal's.

They lead a team of four before a great wagon laid down with the first harvest of spring; without the roads, the burden would've taken half again as many horses. | "When I could bear no more, I set out.
