οὐ γὰρ πολλὴ ἡ δίωξις ἐγένετο, ὅτι ἐξετράπη Ἀλέξανδρος ἐπὶ τοὺς ξένους τοὺς μισθοφόρους· ὧν τὸ στῖφος, ᾗ τὸ πρῶτον ἐτάχθη, ἐκπλήξει μᾶλλόν τι τοῦ παραλόγου ἢ λογισμῷ βεβαίῳ ἔμενεν· καὶ τούτοις τήν τε φάλαγγα ἐπαγαγὼν καὶ τοὺς ἱππέας πάντῃ προσπεσεῖν κελεύσας ἐν μέσῳ διʼ ὀλίγου κατακόπτει αὐτούς, ὥστε διέφυγε μὲν οὐδείς, ὅτι μὴ διέλαθέ τις ἐν τοῖς νεκροῖς, ἐζωγρήθησαν δὲ ἀμφὶ τοὺς δισχιλίους.
