[31] Meanwhile Abradatas and his companions could make no further way: there was not a gap through the Egyptian lines on either hand, and they could but charge the single soldiers where they stood, overthrow them by the sheer weight of horse and car, and crush them and their arms beneath the hoofs and wheels.

And where the scythes caught them, men and weapons were cut to shreds.

There they stood, and fought like men, and there they were cut down and died.
