ANCIENT TECHNICAL WRITERS. Xenophon (b. circa b.c. 431) wrote two technical treatises, one on the " Hipparch ", or Athenian General of Cavalry, which is the most important existing source of information on the of that time ; tadics of the Attic cavalry the other on " Horsemanship ", containing descriptions of the barbing, training, and treatment of horses, and of the arms and armour of the troopers. Much may be learned, besides, of the great principles of warfare, and of the organization and tadics of the Persians and Greeks from the " Cyrupaedia", the "Anabasis", and " The Polity of the Lacedaemonians", which was written between b.c. 387 and 378.' The last contains information concerning the encampments, evolutions, etc., of the Lacedaemonians. There are English translations of the " Cyrupaedia " by Philemon Holland, London, 1 632, fol., and one of the " Anabasis " by John Bingham, London, 1623, fol. The two technical treatises were printed with the complete works, Florence, 15 16, fol. ^NEAS, called Tadicus {circa B.C. 367-366), is generally considered the earliest technical military writer of whom we have any knowledge. From references in Polybius and Suidas, we learn that he lived at the commencement of the reign of Philip of Macedon, father of Alexander the Great. All that now remains of his work is one fragment, "A treatise on the defence of places", which, according to ^lian, has come down to us in a much abridged form. It was printed (with a Latin translation) in Casaubon's edition of Polybius, Paris, 1609, fol., and afterwards at Frankfort, 16 10 and 1 6 1 9, and Amsterdam, 1670, 8*^; and with Êlian, Frontinus, and Vegetius, Leyden, 1644, 8°; also in Schryver's " Veteres de re militari scriptores", Vesalias, 1670, 8**.
