[4] οἱ δ᾽ οὖν Καδούσιοι πλήθει τῷ πεζῷ μικρὸν ἀπολείπονται τῶν Ἀριανῶν, ἀκοντισταὶ δ᾽ εἰσὶν ἄριστοι, ἐν δὲ τοῖς τραχέσιν ἀνθ᾽ ἱππέων πεζοὶ διαμάχονται. Ἀντωνίῳ δὲ χαλεπὴν τὴν στρατείαν ἐποίησεν οὐχ ἡ τῆς χώρας φύσις, ἀλλ᾽ ὁ τῶν ὁδῶν ἡγεμών, ὁ τῶν Ἀρμενίων βασιλεὺς Ἀρταουάσδης, ὃν εἰκῆ ἐκεῖνος ἐπιβουλεύοντα αὐτῷ σύμβουλον ἐποιεῖτο καὶ κύριον τῆς περὶ τοῦ πολέμου γνώμης: ἐτιμωρήσατο μὲν οὖν αὐτόν, ἀλλ᾽ ὀψέ, ἡνίκα πολλῶν αἴτιος κατέστη κακῶν Ῥωμαίοις καὶ αὐτὸς καὶ ἐκεῖνος, ὅστις τὴν ἀπὸ τοῦ Ζεύγματος ὁδὸν τοῦ κατὰ τὸν Εὐφράτην μέχρι τοῦ ἅψασθαι τῆς Ἀτροπατηνῆς ὀκτακισχιλίων σταδίων ἐποίησε, πλέον ἢ διπλασίαν τῆς εὐθείας, διὰ ὀρῶν καὶ ἀνοδιῶν καὶ κυκλοπορίας.
