1 Curtius 5.1.39-42 gives the same figures, with the exception of specifying 380 cavalry. These troops must have been sent by Antipater before trouble was anticipated in Greece. They had been recruited by Amyntas (chap. 49.1; Curtius 5.1.40). The Trallians were a Thracian people.
2 The same figure is given by Curtius 5.1.42.
3 Curtius 5.2.1. This district lay parallel to Babylonia on the left bank of the Tigris.
4 Curtius 5.2.2-7 describes these measures in more detail, but without satisfying our desire for specific military information. It may be that Alexander was re-organizing his dispositions in view of the impending mountain and steppe warfare, requiring increased fire-power and mobility (Rüstow-Köchly, op. cit. 252).
5 Curtius 5.2.8 and Arrian. 3.16.9 give his name as Abulites, and say that Alexander left him in Susa as governor.
6 This rumour is not mentioned by the other Alexander historians, and its source is unknown.
