Xenophon twice mentions an Arcadian named Nicarchus, a wounded soldier at 2.5.33 and a deserting officer at 3.3.5. Both passages may refer to the same man, although his wound must have been fatal. It is likely that the deserters carried Nicarchus with them, a testament to the emotional bonds between Greek soldiers. Xénophon cite par deux fois un Arcadien nommé Nicarche, soldat blessé à II, 5, 33 et officier déserteur en III, 3, 5. Il se peut que ces passages fassent référence au même homme, bien que sa blessure dût lui être fatale. Les déserteurs ont probablement emmené Nicarche avec eux, preuve des liens affectifs entre soldats grecs
