οἱ δέ, ἅπερ ἐκεῖνος ἔγνω περιμένειν,
φθῆναι σπεύδοντες, ἐνεχείρουν τῇ διαβάσει, κατὰ
πόρον μὲν οἱ πεζοί, πολλαχόθεν δὲ οἱ ἱππεῖς
διεξελαύνοντες τὸν ποταμόν, ὥστε δείσαντας τὴν
κύκλωσιν ἀναχωρεῖν τοὺς Ἕλληνας, αἰσθόμενον
δὲ τὸν Πύρρον καὶ διαταραχθέντα τοῖς μὲν
ἡγεμόσι τοῦ πεζοῦ παρεγγυᾶν εὐθὺς εἰς τάξιν
καθίστασθαι καὶ περιμένειν ἐν τοῖς ὅπλοις, αὑτὸν
[p. 396]
δὲ τοῖς ἱππεῦσι παρεξελάσαι τρισχιλίοις οὖσιν,
ἐλπίζοντα διαβαίνοντας ἔτι καὶ διεσπασμένους
ἀτάκτους λήψεσθαι τοὺς Ῥωμαίους.
