Parangelmata Poliorcetica lest the enemy within spot them and dig a countertunnel and, boring through the wall, kill by smoke or water those working on the tunnel. 12. According to Philo the Athenian, one who wishes to take cities without great labor should attack suddenly, especially at vintage time or when a festival is going on outside a city. For by seizing many people who are outside at the time, he will easily capture the city as well or subject it to tribute, getting this in exchange from its remaining inhabitants out of their affection for or kinship with the . And if we wish to take the city with stealth by night, while the citizens are unaware of our coming and not expecting it, in wintertime when, because of the cold, the majority of them are gathered in their houses and unprepared for battle, or when a public festival is being celebrated inside the city and the majority are playing festival games or are sluggish from drinking. Making ladders of hides we shall bring them to the wall; these are stitched like wineskins and, smeared around the stitches with grease, filled so as not to deflate. For when they are inflated and full of air kept from deflating, they necessarily become upright, held firm for climbing by the air. But if the wall should be higher than the ladders, they are placed beneath ladders of tow which are constructed by being bound together with plaiting and stitching, net-like, similar to the so-called soldiers’ packs. Hooks are attached to the ends of these so that when thrown from the leather ladders placed beneath, they catch on the merlons and thus facilitate the ascent of the wall at will. The drawings of the ladders are delineated. 13. And whenever the beaks discussed above go up close to the wall with the vine tortoises, one should then deploy different [ 45 ]
