  • ἰσομάχου δ’ ἐσ πολὺ τοῦ ἀγῶνοσ ὄντοσ, ὁ βασιλεὺσ ἐσ τὸ καθ’ αὑτὸν μέροσ ἐπιβαρήσασ ἔκρινε τὴν μάχην, καὶ διασπάσασ τοὺσ πολεμίουσ τὸ πεζὸν αὐτῶν κατέκλεισεν ἐσ διώρυχα πηλοῦ, ἔνθα διεφθείροντο στῆναι μὴ δυνάμενοι. (Appian, The Foreign Wars, chapter 13 3:2)
  • καὶ τῶν μὲν τοῦ Διονυσίου μισθοφόρων διὰ τὸ μέγεθοσ τῶν ἐπαγγελιῶν, τῶν δὲ Συρακοσίων διὰ τὴν ἐλπίδα τῆσ ἐλευθερίασ εἰσ ὑπερβάλλουσαν φιλοτιμίαν ἐκτραπέντων τὸ μὲν πρῶτον ἰσόρροποσ ἦν ἡ μάχη, τῆσ παρ’ ἀμφοτέροισ ἀρετῆσ οὔσησ ἰσομάχου, καὶ πολλοὶ μὲν ἔπιπτον, οὐκ ὀλίγοιδὲ κατετιτρώσκοντο πάσασ τὰσ πληγὰσ ἐναντίασ λαμβάνοντεσ· (Diodorus Siculus, Library, book xvi, chapter 12 4:2)
