[4] παρηγγέλλετο δὲ Κρατερῷ μὴ πρὶν διαβαίνειν τὸν πόρον πρὶν ἀπαλλαγῆναι Πῶρον ξὺν τῇ δυνάμει ὡς ἐπὶ σφᾶς ἢ φεύγοντα μαθεῖν, αὐτοὺς δὲ νικῶντας: ἢν δὲ μέρος μέν τι τῆς στρατιᾶς ἀναλαβὼν Πῶρος ἐπ᾽ ἐμὲ ἄγῃ, μέρος δέ τι ὑπολειφθῇ αὐτῷ ἐπὶ στρατοπέδου καὶ ἐλέφαντες, σὺ δὲ δὴ καὶ ὣς μένειν κατὰ χώραν: εἰ δὲ τοὺς ἐλέφαντας ξύμπαντας ἅμα οἷ ἄγοι Πῶρος ἐπ᾽ ἐμέ, τῆς δὲ ἄλλης στρατιᾶς ὑπολείποιτό τι ἐπὶ στρατοπέδου, σὺ δὲ διαβαίνειν σπουδῇ: οἱ γὰρ ἐλέφαντες μόνοι, ἔφη, ἄποροί εἰσι πρὸς τοὺς ἐκβαίνοντας ἵππους, ἡ δὲ ἄλλη στρατιὰ εὔπορος.
