Original Text :	τῆς οὖν πόλεως πορθουμένης, καὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων τῶν μὲν μαχομένων τῶν δὲ φευγόντων, καὶ ἤδη καὶ αὐτῶν ἐκείνων, ὅπως τῶν ἐσεληλυθότων δόξαντες εἶναι σωθῶσι, καὶ ἁρπαζόντων τινὰ καὶ φονευόντων,
Translation :	The city was accordingly being pillaged, and the inhabitants were fighting or fleeing or even themselves plundering and murdering, in order that they might be taken for the invaders and thus preserve their lives.
