Alexander

Of his campaign against Porus[*](See Arrian, Anab. v. 9-19. It was in the spring of 326 B.C.) he himself has given an account in his letters. He says, namely, that the river Hydaspes flowed between the two camps, and that Porus stationed his elephants on the opposite bank and kept continual watch of the crossing. He himself accordingly, day by day caused a great din and tumult to be made in his camp, and thereby accustomed the Barbarians not to be alarmed.
