Eum. 10.1Sīc Eumenēs callidum imperātōrem vīcit cōnsiliō celeritātemque impedīvit eius, neque tamen multum prōfēcit.Thus Eumenes outwitted a cunning general and checked his speed, yet he did not gain much by it. Eum. 10.2Nam invidiā ducum, cum quibus erat, perfidiāque Macedonum veterānōrum, cum superior proeliō discessisset, Antigonō est dēditus, cum exercitus eī ter ante sēparātīs temporibus iūrāsset sē eum dēfēnsūrum neque umquam dēsertūrum.For through the jealousy of the commanders with whom he was serving and the treachery of the Macedonian veterans, though he had come off victorious in battle, he was handed over to Antigonus, although the army had sworn to him three times before, on separate occasions, that they would defend him and never desert him. Eum. 10.2Sed tanta fuit nōnnūllōrum virtūtis obtrectātiō, ut fidem āmittere māllent quam eum nōn perdere.But so great was the disparagement of his merit among some that they preferred to break their faith rather than not destroy him. Eum. 10.3Atque hunc Antigonus, cum eī fuisset īnfestissimus, cōnservāsset, sī per suōs esset licitum, quod ab nūllō sē plūs adiuvārī posse intellegēbat in eīs rēbus, quās impendēre iam appārēbat omnibus.And Antigonus, though he had been his bitterest enemy, would have spared him if his own people had allowed it, because he understood that by no one could he be helped more in the troubles which, as was already plain, were hanging over everyone.
Eum. 10.3Imminēbant enim Seleucus, Lysimachus, Ptolemaeus, opibus iam valentēs, cum quibus eī dē summīs rēbus erat dīmicandum.For Seleucus, Lysimachus and Ptolemy were looming, already strong in resources, with whom he would have to fight for supremacy. Eum. 10.4Sed nōn passī sunt iī quī circā erant, quod vidēbant Eumene receptō omnēs prae illō parvī futūrōs.But those around him did not allow it, because they saw that, if Eumenes were taken into favour, they would all be of little account beside him. Eum. 10.4Ipse autem Antigonus adeō.Antigonus himself, moreover, was so. Eum. 10.4Erat incēnsus, ut nisi magnā spē maximārum rērum lēnīrī nōn posset.Inflamed that he could not be appeased except by a great hope of the greatest gains.
