1When the fighting in their fierce clash had gone on for a great part of the day, Craterus the commander falls, and Neoptolemus, who held the second place in command. 1With him Eumenes himself clashed. 2When they, grappling with each other, had fallen from their horses to the ground, so that it could easily be seen that they had fought with hostile minds and had struggled even more with their spirit than with their bodies, they were not separated until life left one of them. 2Eumenes is wounded by him with several blows, yet he did not withdraw from the battle on that account, but pressed the enemy more fiercely.
3Here, the cavalry having been routed, the commander Craterus killed, and many besides, especially men of the highest rank, captured, the infantry, because it had been led into places from which it could not slip away against Eumenes' will, asked him for peace. 3When it had obtained this, it did not keep its word and withdrew to Antipater as soon as it could. 4Eumenes tried to revive Craterus, who had been carried from the field half-dead; 4when he could not, he gave him a splendid funeral befitting the man's rank and their former friendship (for he had been on intimate terms with him while Alexander was alive), and sent his bones back to Macedonia to his wife and children.
