[D B Campbell]

The King Alfred Anglo-Saxon Version of Orosius gives the following for the battle of Pharsalus (Book V, Chapter 12 5) page 170: https://archive.org/details/kingalfredsangl00boswgoog

Why on earth would you consult a Latin text in an Anglo-Saxon translation?! :errr:

Orosius 6.15.23 (Teubner) reads "Pompey stationed eighty-eight cohorts in a triple line. There were forty thousand infantrymen, six hundred cavalry on the left wing, and five hundred on the right, and in addition many kings, very many Roman senators and knights, and a large force of light-armed troops."
