et quoniam auctoritas quoque in bellis administrandis multum atque in imperio militari valet, certe nemini dubium est quin ea re idem ille imperator plurimum possit.
and since authority also prevails in managing wars, and in military power, it certainly is doubtful to nobody thatbecause of this thing that same general is the most able.
