ἀλκὴν αὐτῶν ἐτράποντο κατεκόπησαν πρὸς τῶν ἱππέων, πολλοὶ δὲ καὶ ζῶντες ἑάλωσαν. ὁ δὲ τότε μὲν κατεστρατοπέδευσε πρὸς ὕδατι οὐ πολλῷ, ὡς δὲ καὶ οἱ περὶ Ἡφαιστίωνα αὐτῷ ὁμοῦ ἤδη ἦσαν, προὐχώρει ἐς τὸ πρόσω. ἀφικόμενος δὲ εἰς κώμην, ἥπερ ἦν μεγίστη τοῦ ἔθνους τοῦ Ὠρειτῶν, Ῥαμβακία ἐκαλεῖτο ἡ κώμη, τόν τε χῶρον ἐπῄνεσε καὶ ἐδόκει ἂν αὐτῷ πόλις ξυνοικισθεῖσα μεγάλη καὶ εὐδαίμων γενέσθαι. Ἡφαιστίωνα μὲν δὴ ἐπὶ τούτοις ὑπελείπετο.
