τῇ δὲ τρίτῃ προσαγαγὼν αὖθις τὴν φάλαγγα καὶ ἀπὸ μηχανῆς γέφυραν ἐπιβαλὼν τοῦ τείχους ᾗ παρερρωγὸς ἦν, ταύτῃ ἐπῆγε τοὺς ὑπασπιστάς, οἵπερ αὐτῷ καὶ Τύρον ὡσαύτως ἐξεῖλον. πολλῶν δὲ ὑπὸ προθυμίας ὠθουμένων ἄχθος λαβοῦσα μεῖζον ἡ γέφυρα κατερράγη καὶ πίπτουσι ξὺν αὐτῇ οἱ Μακεδόνες. οἱ δὲ βάρβαροι ἰδόντες τὸ γιγνόμενον λίθοις τε ξὺν βοῇ ἀπὸ τῶν τειχῶν καὶ τοξεύμασι καὶ ἄλλῳ ὅτῳ τις μετὰ χεῖρας ἔχων ἐτύγχανεν ἢ ὅτῳ τις ἐν τῷ τότε ἔλαβεν ἐξηκόντιζον ἐς τοὺς Μακεδόνας· οἱ δὲ καὶ κατὰ θύρας, αἵτινες αὐτοῖς κατὰ τὰ μεσοπύργια μικραὶ ἦσαν, ἐκθέοντες ἐκ χειρὸς ἔπαιον τεταραγμένους.
