After the army halted overnight in Castellon, Davos rushed over to reunite with the soldiers.
The next morning, the entire army, decked out in fresh uniform, marched in formation according to the pre-determined order for a triumphal entry into the city.
After crossing the bridge, the thousands of freedmen who had participated in the battle, along with the Greek mercenaries led by Xantiparis, who had been waiting nearby, joined the procession. Davos also switched to a four-horse chariot, followed closely by Capus, Drax, Hieronymus, and the archon of Laos, Avinogenes, in two-horse chariots. The army marched in a mighty procession toward the nearby city of Thurii.
The freedmen and families of some of the prospective citizens, who had been waiting outside the city, erupted in thunderous cheers upon seeing the soldiers from afar.
