Transcription: After these two victorious battles, Alexander decided to attack the Geites who were lined up at the opposite back of Istros with an army of 4,000 equestrians and 10,000 soldiers. With the help of ships he had requested from Byzantium, with canoes and litter tents filled with hay, 4,000 soldiers and 1,500 equestrians moved to the opposite bank of the river. The Geites were taken back at the first attack They scurried away towards the settlement which was very close to the river.
