Footnotes

30

The Greek text reads 'a hundred thousand footmen, and twenty thousand horsemen, and thirty-two elephants.' The infantry and cavalry figures follow the inflation pattern described in the note on 3:39. Josephus (Jewish War 1.41), drawing on a Seleucid source, gives approximately fifty thousand infantry and five thousand cavalry for this battle.
