τετάρτη μὲν ἦν ἡμέρα τῆς φιλίας Δανδάμιδι καὶ
Ἀμιζώκῃ, ἀφ᾽ οὗ τὸ ἀλλήλων αἷμα
συνεπεπώκεσαν ἧκον δὲ ἡμῖν ἐπὶ τὴν χώραν Σαυρομάται μυρίοις μὲν ἱππεῦσιν, οἱ πεζοὶ δὲ τρὶς τοσοῦτοι ἐπεληλυθέναι ἐλέγοντο. οἷα δὲ οὐ προϊδομένοις τὴν ἔφοδον αὐτῶν ἐπιπεσόντες ^ ἅπαντας μὲν τρέπουσι, πολλοὺς δὲ τῶν μαχίμων κτείνουσι,
τοὺς δὲ καὶ ζῶντας ἀπάγουσι, πλὴν εἴ τις ἔφθη διανηξάμενος εἰς τὸ πέραν τοῦ ποταμοῦ, ἔνθα. ἡμῖν τὸ ἥμισυ τοῦ στρατοπέδου καὶ μέρος τῶν
ἁμαξῶν ἦν οὕτω γὰρ ἐσκηνώσαμεν τότε, οὐκ οἶδα ὅ τι δόξαν τοῖς ἀρχιπλάνοις ἡμῶν, ἐπ᾽ ἀμφοτέρας τὰς ὄχθας τοῦ Τανάϊδος.
εὐθὺς οὖν ἥ τε λεία περιηλαύνετο καὶ τὰ αἰχμάλωτα συνείχετο καὶ τὰς σκηνὰς διήρπαζον καὶ
τὰς ἁμάξας κατελαμβάνοντο, αὐτάνδρους τὰς πλείστας ἁλισκομένας, καὶ ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς ἡμῶν ὑβρίζοντες τὰς παλλακίδας καὶ τὰς γυναῖκας:
