    Original Text :τέλος δὲ τοῦ χειμῶνος ἐπικειμένου, καὶ τῶν Ἑλλήνων τὴν πρώτην τάξιν αὐτῶν, ἄνδρας τετρακοσίους, καταβαλόντων, ἐτράπη τὸ πλῆθος εἰς φυγήν.

    Remark :perpetrator: Demaretus commands the cavalry. This is mentioned in 27.4. Although they are called "Greeks" in the source, Timoleon's army consisted of mercenaries of diverse origin at this point.
    thirdperson: We assume the commaders fled together with the main body of the army.
