[405]
When Sylla and his party were informed what happened to me, they
took courage again; and understanding that the watch was negligently kept
in our camp, they by night placed a body of horsemen in ambush beyond Jordan,
and when it was day they provoked us to fight; and as we did not refuse
it, but came into the plain, their horsemen appeared out of that ambush
in which they had lain, and put our men into disorder, and made them run
away; so they slew six men of our side. Yet did they not go off with the
victory at last; for when they heard that some armed men were sailed from
Taricheae to Juli, they were afraid, and retired.
