Alexander instantibus suis ne impune abeuntem hostem intermitteret sequi, hebetia esse tela et manus fatigatas tantoque cursu corpora exhausta et praeceps in noctem diei tempus causatus est, re vera de laevo cornu, quod adhuc in acie stare credebat, sollicitus, reverti ad ferendam opem suis statuit.
Alexander, urged by his men not to cease pursuing those who were making good their escape, pleaded in excuse that their weapons were blunted, their arms wearied, and their bodies exhausted by so much running, and that the time of day was close upon nightfall; but actually being anxious about the left wing, which he believed to be still standing in line of battle, he resolved to turn back and give aid to his men.
