αὐτὸς δὲ Ἀλέξανδρος ὡς ἐπὶ τῶν Βραχμάνων τινὰ πόλιν ἦγεν, ὅτι καὶ ἐς ταύτην ξυμπεφευγέναι τινὰς τῶν Μαλλῶν ἔμαθεν. ὡς δὲ ἀφίκετο πρὸς αὐτήν, ἐπῆγε τῷ τείχει πάντοθεν πυκνὴν τὴν φάλαγγα. οἱ δὲ ὑπορυσσόμενα τὰ τείχη ἰδόντες καὶ ἐκ τῶν βελῶν ἀναστελλόμενοι τὰ μὲν τείχη καὶ οὗτοι ἐκλείπουσιν, ἐς δὲ τὴν ἄκραν ξυμφυγόντες ἐκεῖθεν ἠμύνοντο· ξυνεισπεσόντων δὲ αὐτοῖς ὀλίγων Μακεδόνων μεταβαλλόμενοι καὶ ξυστραφέντες τοὺς μὲν ἐξέωσαν αὐτῶν, ἀπέκτειναν δὲ ἐν τῇ ὑποστροφῇ ἐς πέντε καὶ εἴκοσι.
