τότε τοίνυν ἐπὶ Πέρσας ὁ βασιλεὺς ᾔει παρασκευῇ τῇ πάσῃ. τοῦ δὲ Ῥωμαϊκοῦ στρατοῦ δόξαντος ἐν τῇ πρώτῃ μάχῃ κεκρατηκέναι, Τιμησικλῆς ὁ τῆς αὐλῆς ὕπαρχος τελευτήσας ἠλάττωσε πολὺ τῷ βασιλεῖ τὴν ἐπὶ τῇ ἀσφαλείᾳ τῆς ἡγεμονίας πεποίθησιν. Φιλίππου γὰρ ὑπάρχου προχειρισθέντος, κατὰ βραχὺ τὰ τῆς εἰς τὸν βασιλέα τῶν στρατιωτῶν εὐνοίας ὑπέρρει.
