Ariobarzanes has cum xxv milibus peditum occupaverat, rupes undique praeruptas et abscisas, in quarum cacuminibus extra teli iactum barbari stabant, de industria quieti et paventibus similes, donec in artissimas fauces penetraret agmen.
Ariobarzanes with 25,000 foot-soldiers had taken possession of that pass, shut in on all sides by steep and craggy rocks, on the summits of which the barbarians stood out of reach of missiles, purposely quiet and pretending fear, until the army of Alexander should enter the narrowest part of the pass.
