Dum enim tres procursatorum cohortes expeditae cum cuneo Persico decertarent, quem patefactis subito portis, profuderat civitas, proruptores alii ex contraria fluminis ripa, iumenta nos sequentia cum pabulatoribus paucis, licenter palantibus, intercipiunt et obtruncant.
For while three cohorts of light-armed skirmishers were fighting with a band of Persians which had burst forth from the suddenly opened gates of a town, others who had sallied forth from the opposite side of the river, cut off and butchered the pack-animals that followed us, along with a few foragers who were carelessly roaming about.
