ἐπειδὰν ἐκπεριεληλυθότα αὑτὸν αἴσθηται καὶ προσάγοντα ἤδη τῷ στρατοπέδῳ τῶν Περσῶν ʽαἰσθήσεσθαι δὲ οὐ χαλεπῶς, σημανεῖν γὰρ αὐτῷ τὰς σάλπιγγασʼ, τότε δὲ προσβαλεῖν τῷ τείχει· αὐτὸς δὲ προὐχώρει νύκτωρ καὶ διελθὼν ὅσον ἑκατὸν σταδίους ἀναλαμβάνει τοὺς ὑπασπιστὰς καὶ τὴν Περδίκκου τάξιν καὶ τῶν τοξοτῶν τοὺς κουφοτάτους καὶ τοὺς Ἀγριᾶνας καὶ τῶν ἑταίρων τὴν ἴλην τὴν βασιλικὴν καὶ τετραρχίαν πρὸς ταύτῃ μίαν ἱππικήν, καὶ ξὺν τούτοις ᾔει ἐπικάμψας ὡς ἐπὶ τὰς πύλας, ἵνʼ οἱ αἰχμάλωτοι ἦγον.
