In that war Sylla destroyed 300,000 men at Cheronea.

He defeated Mithridates' army under Dorilaus, and slew 300,000.

This great and unfortunate prince lost another 300,000 before Cyzicum.

In the course of the war he had innumerable other losses; and having many intervals of success, he revenged them severely.

He was at last totally overthrown; and he crushed to pieces the king of Armenia, his ally, by the greatness of his ruin.
