Barbaris simile monstri visum est, rudibus militarium operum; quippe in media ferme urbe armati terra exsistebant, nullo suffossi specus ante  vestigio facto, lxxx milia Indorum in ea regione caesa Clitarchus est auctor multosque captivos sub  corona venisse.
To the barbarians, who were inexperienced in military operations, this seemed like a prodigy; for armed men came up out of the earth almost in the middle of the city, no indication having been given beforehand of the digging of the passageway.  Clitarchus states that 80,000 Indi were killed in that region, and many captives sold at auction.
