τιναξαμένου δὲ τοῖς ὅπλοις,
ἔδοξαν οἱ βάρβαροι σέλας τι καὶ φάσμα πρὸ τοῦ σώματος φέρεσθαι διὸ καὶ
τὸ πρῶτον ἔφυγον καὶ διεσκεδάσθησαν: ὡς δὲ εἶδον αὐτὸν μετὰ δυεῖν
ὑπασπιστῶν, ἐπιδραμόντες οἱ μὲν ἐκ χειρὸς ξίφεσι καὶ δόρασι διὰ τῶν
ὅπλων συνετίτρωσκον ἀμυνόμενον, εἷς δὲ μικρὸν ἀπωτέρω στάς ἐφῆκεν ἀπὸ
τόξου βέλος οὕτως εὔτονον καὶ βίαιον ὥστε τὸν θώρακα διακόψαν
ἐμπαγῆναι τοῖς περὶ τὸν μασθὸν ὀστέοις. [p. 404]
