Validissimae Indorum gentes erant et bellum impigre parabant ducemque ex natione Sudracarum spectatae virtutis elegerant; qui sub radicibus montis castra posuit lateque ignes, ut speciem multitudinis augeret, ostendit, clamore quoque ac sui moris ululatu identidem acquiescentes Macedonas  frustra terrere conatus.
These were the strongest nations of the Indi; they were making vigorous preparations for war and had chosen as their leader one of the nation of the Sudracae, a man of tried valour; he had encamped at the foot of a mountain and showed fires far and wide in order to increase the impression of his numbers, also vainly trying after the fashion of his nation from time to time by shouts and yells to terrify the unperturbed  Macedonians.
