ἐνείχοντο τῷ τέλματι. καὶ αὐτῶν ἐνταῦθα γίνεται
φόνος, ὅσος οὔπω πρόσθεν ἐν πολιορκίᾳ τοιαύτῃ γέγονεν.
Ἐπεὶ δὲ τὰ τῶν ἱππέων ὧδε ἐπεπράγει, τῶν
ἐλεφάντων πειρῶνται, καταπλήξεσθαι μᾶλλον
[p. 174]
οἰόμενοι τῷ ξένῳ τῆς μάχης: οὐ γὰρ δὴ τοσοῦτον
αὐτοῖς τὰ τῶν ὀμμάτων διέφθαρτο, ὡς μὴ καθορᾶν
βαρύτερον μὲν ὂν ἵππου τὸ θηρίον, φέρον δὲ ἄχθος
οὐχ ἵππων δυοῖν ἢ πλειόνων, ἁμαξῶν δὲ οἶμαι
