There, in the open space, they fought hand to hand, for neither force would yield an inch.

Miriam, watching through the stone bars from above, had eyes for only two of all that multitude of men--Marcus, whom she loved, and Caleb, whom she feared.

Marcus was attacked by a Jew, who stabbed his horse, to be instantly stabbed himself by a Roman who came to the rescue of his commander.

After this he fought on foot.

Caleb killed first one soldier than another.
