ἐνεπόδιζον. πλῆθος δὲ τοσοῦτον ἀνδρῶν τε καὶ κτηνῶν ἐφονεύθη ὡς πᾶν πληρωθῆναι τὸ πεδίον μεγίστους τε σωροὺς πτωμάτων ἐς ὕψος ἀρθῆναι, καὶ μάλιστα τῶν καμήλων ἐπαλλήλων πιπτουσῶν. πρός τε οὖν τὸ διατρέχειν ἐνεποδίζοντο οἱ μαχόμενοι: οὐκέτι δὲ οὐδὲ καθεώρων ἀλλήλους, μεγάλου οἱονεὶ χώματος ἐν μέσῳ καὶ δυσβάτου ὑπὸ τῶν σωμάτων σεσωρευμένου, ὑφ̓ οὗ κωλυόμενοι τοῖς ἄλλοις ἐπιέναι ἕκαστοι ἐπανῆλθον ἐς τὰ ἑαυτῶν στρατόπεδα.
