Transcription: On the other hand, almost 20,000 men were lost to the Persians and 2,000 were taken prisoners. On the day that followed, Alexander visited all the wounded and spoke with them about the triumphant victory of the previous day. He buried the dead with great honours and ordered that their parents and children be relieved from any tax, contribution or compulsory labour. It is worth noticing that he also buried the dead Persians and sent the prisoners to Macedonia.
