Added to this, he was the bitterest of adversaries, but the mildest of
 conquerors; wary with enemies, but very compliant to friends.
 While ever ensuring security to his own side,
 he ever made it his business to bring to nought the designs of his enemy.
 By his relatives he was described as devoted
 to his family, by his intimates as an unfailing friend, Xen. Hell.
 5.5.45 by those who served him as unforgetful, by the
 oppressed as a champion, by his comrades in danger as a saviour second to
 the gods. 
 In one respect, I think, he was unique.
