Translate into Greek: In that battle many soldiers were wounded, and inasmuch as many others had become ill from drinking the water of that region, physicians were at once sent to take care of them. The general at first thought that he would wait until most of the army could go forward with him; but when he learned that for many days this would be impossible, he decided to go on with those who could march, although he was afraid that he would incur danger by so doing, for they did not know the country through which they had to pass, and besides the enemy were far better prepared.

The latter, thinking that it would be better for him not to go, for he feared that it would not please the Athenians if Xenophon should become a friend of Cyrus, advised him to consult the god Apollo about the matter.
