Interea rex, ut imminuti exercitus detrimenta sarciret, optimum quemque Persarum in Macedonicos ordines allegit; mille etiam praestantissimos segregavit ad corporis custodiam; aliam hastatorum manum, haud pauciores decem milibus, ad regium tabernaculum excubias agere iussit.
Meanwhile the king, in order to patch up the losses in his diminished army, mustered all the best of the Persians into the ranks of the Macedonians; he also set aside a thousand of the most distinguished for a body-guard; another troop of spearmen, not fewer than 10,000, he ordered to keep watch by night at the royal quarters.
