Haec munimenta contemplantem Alexandrum consiliique incertum, quia nec cavernas nisi aggere poterat implere nec tormenta aliter muris admovere,  quidam e muro sagitta percussit; et forte in suram incidit telum.
As Alexander was reconnoitring these fortifications and was uncertain what to do, since he could not fill up the caverns except by a mound, nor move up his siege-engines to the walls in any other way, someone from the wall shot at him with an arrow, and, as it happened, the weapon struck him in the  calf of his leg.
