ἐκεῖνος μὲν ὁ στρατὸς ἐπανιὼν πλεῖστος ἐν τοῖς ὄρεσι διεφθάρη, καὶ ἠκρωτηριάσθησαν οὐκ ὀλίγοι ἐν δυσχειμέρῳ χώρᾳ, ὡς ὀλίγους πάνυ ἐκ πολλῶν ἐπανελθεῖν: τὸ δὲ σὺν αὑτῷ πλῆθος ὁ Ἀλέξανδρος ἐς τὴν Ἀντιόχειαν ἐπανήγαγε, πολλῶν καὶ ἐξ ἐκείνης τῆς μοίρας ἀπολωλότων, ὡς μεγίστην ἐνεγκεῖν δυσθυμίαν τῷ στρατῷ καὶ Ἀλεξάνδρῳ ἀδοξίαν, σφαλέντι καὶ γνώμῃ καὶ τύχῃ, καὶ τῶν τριῶν μοιρῶν τοῦ στρατοῦ ὧν ἔνειμε τὸ πλεῖστον ἀποβαλόντι διαφόροις συμφοραῖς, νόσῳ πολέμῳ κρύει.
