παρέξειν τὴν ἔφοδον. προείρητο γὰρ πᾶσι τοῖς στρατοῖς ὑπερτρέχειν, καὶ τόπος ὥριστο ἐς ὃν αὐτοὺς συνελθεῖν ἔδει, πάντα τὰ ἐμπίπτοντα καὶ ἐν μέσῳ χειρουμένους. ἔσφηλε δὲ αὐτοὺς ὁ Ἀλέξανδρος μήτε εἰσαγαγὼν τὸν στρατὸν μήτε εἰσελθών, ἢ διὰ δέος, ἵνα μὴ δὴ αὐτὸς κινδυνεύοι ψυχῇ καὶ σώματι ὑπὲρ τῆς Ῥωμαίων ἀρχῆς, ἢ τῆς μητρὸς ἐπισχούσης γυναικείᾳ
