pay_v ●ear_a to_o the_o roman_n for_o this_o little_a way_n we_o have_v go_v for_o if_o at_o first_o they_o have_v resolve_v either_o to_o help_v or_o not_o to_o help_v the_o latin_n not_o help_v

triarij_fw-la and_o each_o of_o these_o have_v their_o horseman_n in_o the_o order_n of_o a_o battle_n they_o place_v the_o hastati_fw-la for_o most_o in_o the_o second_o place_n on_o the_o right_a

rank_n they_o place_v on_o the_o right_a hand_n and_o on_o the_o left_a of_o these_o three_o battle_n which_o squadron_n of_o horse_n from_o their_o form_n and_o place_n be_v call_v wing_n because_o they_o look_v like_o the_o two_o wing_n of_o that_o body_n they_o range_v the_o first_o squadron_n of_o the_o hastati_fw-la which_o be_v in_o front_n in_o a_o manner_n close_o shut_v together_o that_o it_o may_v be_v able_a either_o to_o force_v upon_o or_o sustain_v the_o enemy_n the_o second_o squadron_n of_o the_o prencipi_fw-la because_o it_o be_v not_o the_o first_o to_o fight_v but_o be_v ordain_v to_o succour_v the_o for_o most_o in_o case_n it_o be_v either_o beat_v or_o drive_v back_o this_o they_o make_v not_o so_o compact_v together_o but_o keep_v their_o rank_n thin_a so_o that_o they_o may_v receive_v in_o to_o they_o without_o disorder_v themselves_o the_o first_o squadron_n whensoever_o be_v press_v on_o by_o the_o enemy_n they_o be_v force_v to_o retire_v the_o three_o

and_o prencipi_fw-la the_o troop_n then_o be_v all_o place_v in_o this_o order_n begin_v the_o fight_n and_o if_o the_o hastati_fw-la be_v force_v or_o overcome_v they_o retire_v into_o the_o thinness_n of_o the_o rank_n of_o the_o prencipi_fw-la and_o they_o unite_v together_o and_o have_v make_v of_o two_o battallion_n one_o body_n undertake_v the_o fight_n afresh_o and_o if_o these_o be_v beat_v back_o and_o rout_v they_o fall_v back_o into_o the_o thin_a rank_n of_o the_o triarij_fw-la and_o so_o all_o the_o battallion_n become_v one_o body_n renew_v the_o fight_n again_o where_o
