    Original Text :ἐκβιασάμενοι δὲ αὐτοὺς οἱ Ἰλλυριοὶ τοὺς μὲν ἐς τὴν παρακειμένην θάλασσαν τιτρώσκοντες ἐξωθοῦσι, τοὺς δὲ φεύγοντας ἐπὶ τοὺς λόφους διώκοντες αὐτούς τε φονεύουσι καὶ πολύ τι πλῆθος ἄλλων ἀνθρώπων, ὅπερ ἔκ τε τῶν περικειμένων πόλεων καὶ ἀγρῶν ἤθροιστο, ὡς ἀπ᾿ ἀσφαλοῦς τοῦ τόπου τὰ γινόμενα θεάσοιντο.
     
    Translation :Bursting through the line, the Illyrian troops forced some with heavy casualties into the sea that lay to the south. Others they pursued as fugitives up on to the ridges and there they slaughtered them and many others besides who had collected together from the surrounding towns and farms, expecting to view the battle from a safe spot.
