Abandoned Arms after Shaeeb's Rout

Abandoned Arms after Shaeeb's Rout

From D3.2, Darab Defeats the Army of Shaeeb. It illustrates D3.2.9–13:

  • D3.2.9
    Upon the fourth, the Arabs turned in flight,And left the field of battle in the night.
  • D3.2.10
    Their chief Shaeeb had fallen on the field;The Arabs’ darkened fortune now was sealed.
  • D3.2.11
    With wooden saddles, many steeds were found,With spears and helmets, war coats on the ground.
  • D3.2.12
    The fleeing men had left them, every one,To Darab, king of earth, Homahyi’s son.
  • D3.2.13
    He shared the horses, crowns, and swords as spoil,With helmets, to reward the army’s toil.
