καὶ τὰ μὲν πρῶτα ἐς τὴν πόλιν καταφεύγουσιν, ἣ δὴ ἀπεῖχεν αὐτοῖς ὅσον παρασάγγην τοῦ Ἴστρου· ὡς δὲ ἐπάγοντα εἶδον σπουδῇ Ἀλέξανδρον τὴν μὲν φάλαγγα παρὰ τὸν ποταμόν, ὡς μὴ κυκλωθεῖέν πῃ οἱ πεζοὶ ἐνεδρευσάντων τῶν Γετῶν, τοὺς ἱππέας δὲ κατὰ μέτωπον, λείπουσιν αὖ καὶ τὴν πόλιν οἱ Γέται κακῶς τετειχισμένην, ἀναλαβόντες τῶν παιδαρίων καὶ τῶν γυναικῶν ἐπὶ τοὺς ἵππους ὅσα φέρειν οἱ ἵπποι ἠδύναντο·
