    Original Text :ἐγένετο δὴ τούτων τε καὶ τῶν ἐς τὰς τάφρους πεσόντων φόνος πολὺς ἀναμὶξ ἵππων τε καὶ ἀνδρῶν. ἐν δὲ τῷ θορύβῳ τούτῳ καὶ οἱ μεταξὺ τῆς τε φάραγγος καὶ τῶν τάφρων βαλλόμενοί τε καὶ τοξευόμενοι διεφθείροντο.
     
    Translation :Great, indeed, was the loss of life among both these and those who had fallen into the trenches, as horses and men perished in wild confusion. And in the midst of this disorder the men between the ravine and the trenches were being annihilated by showers of missiles and arrows.
