[6] When the barbarians, having pillaged houses and sanctuaries, and having fired Kallion, were returning by the same way, they were met by the men of Patrai, who alone of the Achaeans were helping the Aetolians. Being trained as hoplites, they made a frontal attack on the barbarians but suffered severely owing to the number and desperation of the Gauls. But the Aetolians, men and women, drawn up all along the road, kept shooting at the barbarians, and few shots failed to find a mark among enemies protected by nothing but their epichoric [ epikhōrioi] shields. Pursued by the Gauls, they easily escaped, renewing their attack with vigor when their enemies returned from the pursuit.

But the Aetolians, men and women, drawn up all along the road, kept shooting at the barbarians, and few shots failed to find a mark among enemies protected by nothing but their national shields. Pursued by the Gauls they easily escaped, renewing their attack with vigor when their enemies returned from the pursuit.
