"To Madame Agnes de la Mora."
As for himself, he collected the survivors of the mora, and marched back to Lacedæmon, always starting before daybreak, and encamping after sunset, that he might not be insulted by the Arcadians, who bitterly hated the Lacedæmonians and enjoyed their discomfiture.

Mora, of Senlis, permits of dividing circumferences or circles into equal or proportional parts.
