Ceterum, si forte Ariobarzanes cognovisset per callium anfractus intrare se et ad occupandum iter suum partem copiarum temptasset opponere, Craterus eum illato terrore retineret, ad propius periculum conversurum agmen; sin autem ipse hostem fefellisset et saltum occupasset, cum trepidantium barbarorum tumultum exaudisset, persequens tum regem id ipsum iter quo pridie pulsi fuerant ne dubitaret ingredi; quippe vacuum fore hostibus in semet aversis.
Further, if haply Ario-barzanes should have learned that he was entering through the winding paths, and should try to oppose a part of his forces to block his advance, Craterus was to hold him back by alarming him, and force him to turn the attention of his army to the nearer danger; but if he himself should elude the enemy and get possession of the pass, then Craterus, following the king, when he heard the noise made by the confusion of the enemy, must not hesitate to take that same route from which they had been driven the day before; for it would be empty when the attention of the enemy had been turned to himself.
