GREEK COMPOSITION. TRANSLATE INTO GREEK: When these ten thousand Greeks had come in their march to the great river Euphrates, they found a barbarian soldier who told them that the great king with all his army was only two stages (day's march) distant, and that if they should go forward during all that night and the following (ἐπιέναι) day, they would see the king's forces before the time for supper came. When the generals heard this, they determined (it seemed good to them) not to remain where they were, but to cross (διαβαίνειν) the river and send Xenophon with a hundred hoplites so that they might know whether the man had spoken the truth.
