This became clear on the following day, for not a pack animal was any
 more to be seen nor camp nor smoke anywhere near. Even the King, so
 it seems, was terrified by the approach of the army. He made this
 evident by what he did the next day. However, as the night went on a panic fell upon the Greeks also, and
 there was confusion and din of the sort that may be expected when
 panic has seized an army. Clearchus, however, directed Tolmides the Elean, who chanced to be
 with him as herald and was the best herald of his time, to make this
 proclamation, after he had ordered silence: The
 commanders give public notice that whoever informs on the man
 who let the ass loose among the arms shall receive a reward of a
 talent of silver. When this proclamation had been made, the soldiers realized that
 their fears were groundless and their commanders safe. And at dawn
 Clearchus ordered the Greeks to get under arms in line of battle
 just as they were when the battle took place. The fact which I just stated, that the
 King was terrified by the approach of the Greeks, was made clear by
 the following circumstance: although on the day before he had sent
 and ordered them to give up their arms, he now, at sunrise, sent
 heralds to negotiate a truce.
