army had no longer a water-place, and observing moreover that the
cavalry greatly harassed them, held a meeting on these and other

circumstances added to their distress. All the provisions that they
had brought with them were gone; and the attendants who had been sent
to fetch supplies from the Peloponnese, were prevented from returning
to camp by the Persian horse, which had now closed the passage.
