Ceterum in Macedonum exercitu temeritate atque audacia insignes fuere Hegesimachus et Nicanor, nobiles iuvenes et perpetua partium felicitate  ad spernendum omne periculum accensi; quis ducibus promptissimi iuvenum, lanceis modo armati, transnavere in insulam quam frequens hostis tenebat, multosque Indorum, nulla re melius quam  audacia armati, interemerunt.
Now there were in the army of the Macedonians Hegesimachus and Nicanor, high-born youths conspicuous for rashness and daring, aroused by the constant good fortune of  their side to despise all dangers; under their lead the most active of the young men, armed only with lances, swam across to an island which a crowd of the enemy held and, armed with nothing better than  daring, slew many of the Indi.
