In carrying out very critical operations the general ought not set himself apart as though such labor was beneath him, but he should begin the work and toil along with his troops as much as possible.
Ἐν ταῖς ἀναγκαίων πραγμάτων ἐγχειρήσεσιν οὐ δεῖ χωρίζειν ἑαυτὸν τὸν στρατηγὸν ἐκ τῶν πόνων ὡς ὑπερέχοντα, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἄρχεσθαι τῶν ἔργων καὶ συμπονεῖν τοῖς στρατιώταις κατὰ τὸ δυνατόν.
