Thomson 1808
not in this edition
Brenton 1851
A multitude of aged hoary-haired men, were driven along with halting bending feet, urged onward by the impulse of a violent, shameless force to quick speed.
Greek · Brenton
Ἤγετο γὰρ γεραιῶν πλῆθος πολιᾷ πεπυκασμένων, τὴν ἐκ τοῦ γήρως νωθρότητα ποδῶν ἐπικύφων, ἀνατροπῆς ὁρμῇ βιαίας, ἁπάσης αἰδοῦς ἄνευ πρὸς ὀξείαν καταχρωμένων πορείαν.
