εἴ τέ τι ἐκ τοῦ παραλόγου πταῖσμα σφίσι ξυμπέσοι, τοῖς μὲν πολεμίοις τὰ κύκλῳ φίλια καὶ αὐτοὶ τῆς χώρας ἔμπειροι, σφεῖς δὲ ἄπειροι ἐν πολεμίοις τοῖς πᾶσιν, ὧν οὐ μικρὰ μοῖρα οἱ αἰχμάλωτοι ἦσαν, ξυνεπιθησόμενοι ἐν νυκτὶ μὴ ὅτι πταίσασιν, ἀλλὰ καὶ εἰ μὴ παρὰ πολὺ νικῶντες φαίνοιντο. τούτων τε τῶν λογισμῶν ἕνεκα ἐπαινῶ Ἀλέξανδρον καὶ τοῦ ἐς τὸ φανερὸν ὑπερόγκου οὐ μεῖον.
