battle of Issus

kind: battle · 333 BCE — the editor’s frame · 6 mentions across 5 episodes of the record — counted by the house’s first pass receipt — the deed shelf, first pass receipt — the year anchors receipt — the witness index

The 333 BCE battle (FH II p.244: 'Battle of Issus', Arrian cited).

Where the accounts part — the record’s own argument; the witnesses below carry the receipts

The reception seam made visible: Polybius devotes a polemic (12.17-22) to demolishing Callisthenes' account of the battle — a lost eyewitness surviving only inside his critic. Plutarch narrates the battle Callisthenes described. The house serves the account and the attack on its source side by side.
