[7] ἐνταῦθα ἀκούσας ὅτι νυκτὸς ποιεῖσθαι τὴν πορείαν ἐγνωσμένον εἴη τοῖς βαρβάροις, ἤλεγχε τοὺς προσχώρους, εἰ δή τινα εἰδεῖεν ἐπιτομωτέραν ὁδὸν ἐπὶ τοὺς φεύγοντας. οἱ δὲ εἰδέναι μὲν ἔφασαν, ἐρήμην δὲ εἶναι τὴν ὁδὸν δι᾽ ἀνυδρίαν. ὁ δὲ ταύτην ἄγειν ἐκέλευσε: καὶ γνοὺς ὅτι οὐχ ἕψονται οἱ πεζοὶ αὐτῷ σπουδῇ ἐλαύνοντι τῶν μὲν ἱππέων ἐς πεντακοσίους κατεβίβασεν ἀπὸ τῶν ἵππων, τοὺς ἡγεμόνας δὲ τῶν πεζῶν καὶ τῶν ἄλλων ἐπιλεξάμενος τοὺς κρατιστεύοντας ἐπιβῆναι τῶν ἵππων ἐκέλευσεν οὕτως ὅπως οἱ πεζοὶ ὡπλισμένοι ἦσαν.
