ἔξω βέλους αὑτὸν εἶχεν· ὡς δὲ ἐκδρομή τε ἐκ τῆς πόλεως καρτερὰ ἐγίγνετο καὶ πῦρ τε ἐπέφερον ταῖς μηχαναῖς οἱ Ἄραβες καὶ τοὺς Μακεδόνας ἀμυνομένους κάτωθεν αὐτοὶ ἐξ ὑπερδεξίου τοῦ χωρίου ἔβαλλόν τε καὶ ὤθουν κατὰ τοῦ ποιητοῦ χώματος, ἐνταῦθα ἢ ἑκὼν ἀπειθεῖ Ἀλέξανδρος τῷ μάντει ἢ ἐκπλαγεὶς ἐν τῷ ἔργῳ οὐκ ἐμνημόνευσε τῆς μαντείας, ἀλλʼ ἀναλαβὼν τοὺς ὑπασπιστὰς παρεβοήθει, ἵνα μάλιστα ἐπιέζοντο οἱ Μακεδόνες.
