All right, Samippus, I will command the cavalry; Lycinus can have the right wing. I have the first claim on you, after all those bushels of sovereigns.

All hands go up, look.

You command the cavalry, then, and Lycinus the right. wing. Timolaus will have the left wing. I am in the centre, like the Persian monarchs when they take the field in person.
