Haydock's commentary

Stead, who may obey thy orders more implicitly. Rex unius esto. (Calmet)

Captains, who have been inured to warfare, would not so easily run away. (Menochius)

Thus, in the late French republic, commanders were chosen from the common ranks, while the nobles were neglected. (Haydock)
