'When the Sultan had pillaged and devastated all their lowlands, he made careful preparations, and after putting down the whole army in first class conditions, he moved against the Illyrians and their children and wives and all their belongings. He placed on the van the bowman and musketeers and slingers, telling them to shoot and fire their arrows, sling their stones against the Illyrians and drive them as far away as possible, and get rid of them by firing at the heights.'
'Behind them he ordered the light infantry, the spearmen and those with the small shields to go up, and, following them, all the heavy-armes units. These went up slowly and in irregular ranks, up to a certain point, gradually pushing the Illyrians up to the heights. Then with a mighty shout, the light infantry, the heavy infantry and the spearmen charged the Illyrians, and having put them to flight, they pursued them with all their might, and overtook and killed them. And some were captured alive. But some of them, hard pressed by the heavy infantry, hurled themselves from the precipices and crags, and were destroyed.'
'The heavy and light artillery, and in fact the whole army, scattering over the mountains and the rough country and the ravines, hunted out and made prisoners of the children and women of the Illyrians, and plundered all their belongings. Not only this, but they carried off a very large number of flocks and herds. They scoured thoroughly the whole mountain, and hunted out and secured a very enormous booty of prisoners and cattle and other things, and brought it all down to the camp. '
'A very great number of the Illyrians lost their lives, some in the fighting, and others executed after being captured, for so the Sultan ordered. And they were captured on those mountains about 20,000 children,women and men. Of the rest of the Illyrians, some were in the fortress, and some in the mountain ranges where they fled with their leader Alexander.'
