ὡς δὲ κατέμαθεν ἀτρεκῶς τὸ πλῆθος τὸ τῶν Ἰνδῶν, ἐνταῦθα δὴ ὀξέως ἐπιπεσεῖν αὐτοῖς ξὺν τῇ ἀμφʼ αὐτὸν ἵππῳ· τοὺς δὲ ἐγκλῖναι, ὡς Ἀλέξανδρόν τε αὐτὸν κατεῖδον καὶ τὸ στῖφος ἀμφʼ αὐτὸν τῶν ἱππέων οὐκ ἐπὶ μετώπου, ἀλλὰ κατʼ ἴλας ἐμβεβληκός. καὶ τούτων ἱππέας μὲν πεσεῖν ἐς τετρακοσίους, πεσεῖν δὲ καὶ τοῦ Πώρου τὸν παῖδα· τὰ δὲ ἅρματα αὐτοῖς ἵπποις ἁλῶναι ἔν τε τῇ ἀποχωρήσει βαρέα γενόμενα καὶ ἐν αὐτῷ τῷ ἔργῳ ὑπὸ πηλοῦ ἀχρεῖα.
