And to furnish the persuaded soldiers , he joined in wrongdoing to them . And he devised to be honored and cared for by showing that he could be able to and willing to do wrong . He recounted a good deed whenever anyone was absent from him , and using him , because he did not destroy him . And then about him failed to put in an appearance , it is possible to deceive , but all knows these . From Aristippus , while still being produced at the right season , he accomplished to be general of his mercenaries ; But Ariaeus , being a barbarian , became very close because he was delighted in beautiful boys ; But he himself being beardless , had a favourite boy , Tharypas with a beard . And when the fellow generals were dying because they had advanced with Cyrus against the King , he had done the same thing , did not die . But after the decapitation of other generals , that having been taken vengeance by the king , he died . Not as Clearchus and the other generals having been beheaded , the death was expected to be quick , but he , having been tortured living for a year , is said to be at end of wickedness .
