To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On reaching Adrapsa, on the northern side, the Macedonians found the whole country laid waste by Bessus and his supporters ; their hope was to prevent the ad- vance of Alexander by this system of devastation.
But, in Arrian's simple style, " Alexander advanced nevertheless, with difiicidty, indeed, on account of the deep snow, and in want of all necessaries ; but still he advanced.*' When Bessus heard that the king was not far off, his heart failed him, and he and his associates crossed the Oxu...s and entered Sogdiana. Seven thousand Bactrian cavalry, who had hitherto followed his banner, refused to abandon their country, disbanded, and returned to their seve- ral homes. The Macedonians soon after captured Bactria and Amus, the two chief cities, and effect- ually relieved themselves from all their difficulties.
Thus, Memnon's plan may be said to have been fairly tried by Bessus, and to have utterly failed ; in fact, the only case where such a system can suc- ceed, is where there is some great barrier i^ithin Digitized by VjOOQIC 180 ALEXANDER THE OftXAT.
