[6] οἱ μὲν οὖν ἐλέφαντες οὐ δυνάμενοι πρὸς τὸν ὄχθον ἀναβαίνειν οὐδὲν αὐτοὺς ἠδίκουν, οὐδὲ αἱ τῶν ἱππέων ἶλαι, οἱ δὲ τοξόται καὶ σφενδονῆται βάλλοντες πανταχόθεν κατετίτρωσκόν τε καὶ διέφθειρον ἐξ αὐτῶν συχνούς. αἰσθήσεως δὲ γενομένης τοῖς ἡγεμόσι τῶν ἐκεῖ πραττομένων Πύρρος μὲν ἐκ τῆς ἀσπιστικῆς φάλαγγος Ἀθαμᾶνάς τε καὶ Ἀκαρνᾶνας καὶ τῶν Σαυνιτῶν τινας ἀποστέλλει ὁ δὲ τῶν Ῥωμαίων ὕπατος ἴλας τινὰς ἱππέων, ἐπειδὴ τοιαύτης ἔδει τοῖς πεζοῖς συμμαχίας. καὶ κατὰ τὸν αὐτὸν χρόνον ἑτέρα πάλιν ἐκεῖ γίνεται μάχη πεζῶν τε καὶ ἱππέων, καὶ φόνος ἔτι πλείων.
