[3] οἱ δὲ οὔποτ᾽ ἄν οἰηθέντες διὰ τῆς ἀνύδρου ἐλθεῖν ἐπὶ σφᾶς Ἀλέξανδρον ἔξω τε τῆς πόλεως οἱ πολλοὶ καὶ ἄνοπλοι ἦσαν. ἐφ᾽ ὅτῳ καὶ δῆλος ἐγένετο ταύτην ἀγαγὼν Ἀλέξανδρος, ἣν ὅτι αὐτῷ ἀγαγεῖν χαλεπὸν ἦν, ἐπὶ τῷδε οὐδὲ τοῖς πολεμίοις ὅτι ἄξει πιστὸν ἐφαίνετο. τούτοις μὲν δὴ οὐ προσδοκήσασιν ἐπιπεσὼν τοὺς μὲν πολλοὺς ἀπέκτεινεν αὐτῶν οὐδὲ ἐς ἀλκὴν οἷα δὴ ἀνόπλους τραπέντας: τῶν δὲ ἄλλων εἰς τὴν πόλιν κατειληθέντων κύκλῳ περιστήσας τῷ τείχει τοὺς ἱππέας, ὅτι μήπω ἡ φάλαγξ τῶν πεζῶν ἠκολουθήκει αὐτῷ, ἀντὶ χάρακος ἐχρήσατο τῇ ἵππῳ.
