Proinde egredi iam coeptantes, adoriuntur nos elephantis praeviis Persae, ad quorum faetorem inaccessum terribilemque, equis inter initia turbatis et viris, Ioviani et Herculiani, occisis beluis paucis, cataphractis equitibus acriter resistebant.
But when we accordingly were just beginning to leave, the Persians attacked us, with the elephants in front. By the unapproachable and frightful stench of these brutes horses and men were at first thrown into confusion, but the Joviani and Herculiani, after kitting a few of the beasts, bravely resisted the mailclad horsemen.
