κατὰ δὲ μέρος ἕτερον τὴν ὑπὸ τὰ τείχη γῆν ὀρύττειν ἐγνώκει, κατὰ τὸ μέσον τοῦ ἐνδοτέρου τείχους, διὰ τοῦ ὀρύγματος ἐπιθήσεσθαι τοῖς πολεμίοις πραγματευόμενος. τῶν δὲ πολεμίων τοὺς ἐγείροντας τὸ χῶμα βολαῖς συνεχέσιν εἰργόντων, τὴν μὲν ἐν τῷ προφανεῖ μάχην ὁ βασιλεὺς ἀνεδέξατο, πολυειδέσιν ἀμυντηρίοις κατὰ τῶν βαλλομένων εἴτε βελῶν εἴτε πυρσῶν χρώμενος, Νευΐττᾳ δὲ καὶ Δαγαλαΐφῳ τά τε ὀρύγματα καὶ τὰς τῶν χωμάτων ἐγέρσεις ἐπέτρεψεν.
