And Phalinus said:

That answer, then, we will carry back; but the King bade us tell you this also, that if you remain where you are, you have a truce, if you advance or retire, war. Inform us, therefore, on this point as well: shall you remain and is there a truce, or shall I report from you that there is war?

Clearchus replied:

Report, then, on this point that our view is precisely the same as the King’s.
What, then, is that?
said Phalinus. Clearchus replied,
If we remain, a truce, if we retire or advance, war.

And Phalinus asked again,

Shall I report truce or war?
And Clearchus again made the same reply,
Truce if we remain, if we retire or advance, war.
What he meant to do, however, he did not indicate.

So Phalinus and his companions departed. But the messengers from Ariaeus arrived—Procles and Cheirisophus only, for Menon stayed behind with Ariaeus; they reported that Ariaeus said there were many Persians of higher rank than himself and they would not tolerate his being king.
But,
the messengers continued,
if you wish to make the return journey with him, he bids you come at once, during the night; otherwise, he says he will set out to-morrow morning.

And Clearchus said:

Well, let it be this way: if we come, even as you propose; if we do not, follow whatever course you may think most advantageous to yourselves.
But what he meant to do, he did not tell them, either.
