ὡς δὲ ἀθρόοι ἐπὶ τῇ ὄχθῃ ἐγένοντο, ἐφῆκεν ἐπὶ τοὺς Σκύθας τὸ μὲν πρῶτον μίαν ἱππαρχίαν τῶν ξένων καὶ τῶν σαρισσοφόρων ἴλας τέσσαρας· καὶ τούτους δεξάμενοι οἱ Σκύθαι καὶ ἐς κύκλους περιϊππεύοντες ἔβαλλόν τε πολλοὶ ὀλίγους καὶ αὐτοὶ οὐ χαλεπῶς διεφύγγανον. Ἀλέξανδρος δὲ τούς τε τοξότας καὶ τοὺς Ἀγριᾶνας καὶ τοὺς ἄλλους ψιλούς, ὧν Βάλακρος ἦρχεν, ἀναμίξας τοῖς ἱππεῦσιν ἐπῆγεν ἐπὶ τοὺς Σκύθας.
