By this time the whole of Alexander's cavalry had collected into one squadron, not by any command of his, but hav- ing settled into this arrangement by the mere effect of the struggle itself; and wherever it fell upon the ranks of the Indians they were broken up with great slaughter. The beasts being now cooped up into a narrow space, their friends were no less injured by them than their foes, being trampled down in their wheeling and pushing about. Accordingly there ensued a great slaughter of... the cavalry, cooped up as it was in a narrow space around the elephants. Most of the keepers of the elephants had been killed by the javelins, and some of the elephants themselves had been wounded, while others no longer kept apart in the battle on account of their sufferings or from being destitute of keepers. But, as if frantic with Losses of the Combatcmts. 293 pain, rushing forward at friends and foes alike, they pushed about, trampled down and killed them in every kind of way. However, the Macedonians retired when- ever they were assailed, for they rushed at the beasts in a more open space, and in accordance with their own plan ; and when they wheeled round to return, they fol- lowed them closely and hurled javelins at them ; whereas the Indians retreating among them were now receiving greater injury from them.
