1. Or if you stand with your right foot forward
2. and you cut from your left side,
3. if you do not follow with your left foot,
4. then the strike is wrong** again.
5. For this reason, take note:
6. when you strike from the right side,
7. that you always follow the cut with the right foot.
8. Also do the same when you cut from the left side.
9. Thus, your body itself moves into the correct, balanced movement*,
10. and the cuts are cut long and correctly.

[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.

Notes

• Wag, Wog, Wage, IV, 4, b: Wage des Kampfes indicates something uncertain, in the give and take of battle; 4, c: the moving relationships of things to each other. 5, a, , 2: directionally specific: movement to bring into balance.

Read as Wege, it simply means correct movement. The reference to balance is probably also punningly part of this. According to PD 10v: “Thus your body gets correctly into the balance.” or allow your body to find the correct balance.

• Could falleris (or falsus) be an attempt at a pretend cognate for falsch? According to DMLBS, falsus
