[2] καὶ ἱππομαχία αὕτη καρτερωτάτη τοῦ παντὸς ἔργου ξυνέστη. ἐς βάθος τε γὰρ οἷα δὴ ἰληδὸν τεταγμένοι ἀνέστρεφον οἱ βάρβαροι καὶ ἀντιμέτωποι τοῖς ἀμφ᾽ Ἀλέξανδρον ξυμπεσόντες οὔτε ἀκοντισμῷ ἔτι οὔτ᾽ ἐξελιγμοῖς τῶν ἵππων, ἥπερ ἱππομαχίας δίκη, ἐχρῶντο, ἀλλὰ διεκπαῖσαι πᾶς τις τὸ καθ᾽ αὑτόν, ὡς μόνην ταύτην σωτηρίαν σφίσιν οὖσαν, ἐπειγόμενοι ἔκοπτόν τε καὶ ἐκόπτοντο ἀφειδῶς, οἷα δὴ οὐχ ὑπὲρ νίκης ἀλλοτρίας ἔτι, ἀλλ᾽ ὑπὲρ σωτηρίας οἰκείας ἀγωνιζόμενοι. καὶ ἐνταῦθα πίπτουσι μὲν ἀμφὶ ἑξήκοντα τῶν ἑταίρων τοῦ Ἀλεξάνδρου, καὶ τιτρώσκεται Ἡφαιστίων τε αὐτὸς καὶ Κοῖνος καὶ Μενίδας: ἀλλὰ ἐκράτησε καὶ τούτων Ἀλέξανδρος.
