πολὺ γὰρ μέρος ἀπορραγὲν ἑκουσίως μετεχώρησε πρὸς ἐκείνους, τὸ δὲ λοιπὸν ἐτράπη. φερομένων δὲ πολλῶν ἐπὶ τὸν Ἀντίγονον καί τινος τῶν περὶ αὐτὸν εἰπόντος, ἐπὶ σὲ οὗτοι, βασιλεῦ, τίνα γάρ, εἶπε, πλὴν ἐμοῦ σκοπὸν ἔχουσιν; ἀλλὰ Δημήτριος ἀφίξεται βοηθῶν. καὶ τοῦτο μέχρι παντὸς ἐλπίζων καὶ περισκοπῶν τὸν υἱὸν ἅμα πολλῶν ἀκοντισμάτων εἰς αὐτὸν ἀφεθέντων ἔπεσε· καὶ τῶν ἄλλων ἀπολιπόντων ὀπαδῶν καὶ φίλων μόνος παρέμεινε τῷ νεκρῷ Θώραξ ὁ Λαρισσαῖος.
