Dux erat copiarum quas praemisit Spitaces,  frater ipsius, summa virium in curribus; senos viros singuli vehebant, duos clipeatos, duos sagittarios ab utroque latere dispositos, aurigae erant ceteri, haud sane inermes; quippe iacula complura, ubi comminus proeliandum erat, omissis habenis, in hostem  ingerebant.
The leader of the troops which he sent was Spitaces, his brother, and the greater part of his strength was in his chariots;  each of these carried six men, two with bucklers, two archers stationed on each side, the rest were the drivers, who were by no means unarmed; for when it was necessary to fight hand to hand, they dropped the reins and poured a shower of javelins upon the enemy.
