Transfuga Satibarzanes barbaris praeerat; qui cum pugnam segnem utrimque aequis viribus stare vidisset, in primos ordines adequitavit, demptaque galea inhibitis qui tela iaciebant, si quis viritim dimicare vellet, provocavit ad pugnam; nudum se caput in  certamine habiturum.
The traitor Satibarzanes commanded the barbarians; when he saw that the battle was almost at a standstill with the forces equal on both sides, he rode into the foremost ranks, and taking off his helmet and checking those who were hurling weapons, he challenged to battle anyone who wished to fight in single combat; he said that he would fight bareheaded.
