Inter haec Menidas, praefectus equitum Alexandri, cum paucis turmis opem impedimentis laturus advenerat'est incertum suone consilio an regis imperio', sed non sustinuit Cadusiorum Scytharumque impetum; quippe vix temptato certamine refugit ad regem, amissorum impedimentorum testis magis quam vindex.
Meanwhile Menidas, Alexanders commander of cavalry, had come with a few squadrons to defend the baggage'whether on his own initiative or by the kings order is uncertain',but he could not sustain the attack of the Cadusians and Scythians; for with hardly any attempt at battle he fled back to the king, a witness to the loss of the baggage and not its rescuer.
