[5] ἐπαγαγὼν δὲ τὰς μηχανὰς τῇ ὑστεραίᾳ τῶν μὲν τειχῶν τι εὐμαρῶς κατέσεισε, βιαζομένους δὲ ταύτῃ τοὺς Μακεδόνας ᾗ παρέρρηκτο τοῦ τείχους οὐκ ἀτόλμως οἱ Ἰνδοὶ ἠμύνοντο, ὥστε ταύτῃ μὲν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἀνεκαλέσατο τὴν στρατιάν. τῇ δὲ ὑστεραίᾳ τῶν τε Μακεδόνων αὐτῶν ἡ προσβολὴ καρτερωτέρα ἐγίγνετο καὶ πύργος ἐπήχθη ξύλινος τοῖς τείχεσιν, ὅθεν ἐκτοξεύοντες οἱ τοξόται καὶ βέλη ἀπὸ μηχανῶν ἀφιέμενα ἀνέστελλεν ἐπὶ πολὺ τοὺς Ἰνδούς. ἀλλ᾽ οὐδὲ ὣς βιάσασθαι εἴσω τοῦ τείχους οἷοί τε ἐγένοντο. [p. 191]
