[3] Sin autem dextrum praeposueris, et de latere sinistro ferias, nec sinistro fueris subsequutus, tum rursus falleris. ea propter curabis, ut, si de latere dextro ictum regis, statim subsequaris pede itidem dextro in ipso ictu. Idem facies, si de sinistro ferias, et ea ratione commodissime corpus adcommodabis, ictusque porrecti et more gladiatorio formabuntur.

1. but if, however, you should set the right before,
2. and strike from the left side,
3. and do not follow immediately with the left,
4. then you are deceived in turn.
5. Take care, on account of these things,
6. so that,
7. if you direct the blow from the right side,
8. you would immediately follow with the right foot likewise in the same thrust.
9. You will do the same,
10. if you strike from the left,
11. and you will adapt the body at the right moment to this method,
12. and the extended strikes are shaped by gladiatorial custom.
