Arrian's Greek text is translated in J.B. Campbell (no relation)'s The Roman Army, 31 BC-AD 337: A sourcebook, pp. 92ff (nos. 153 and 159).

Hi,
You can find the the Greek text and English translation here.
Another option is this book:
DeVoto, J. G. ed.: FLAVIUS ARRIANUS: TEXNH TAKTIKA (Tactical Handbook) AND EKTAXIS KATA ALANON (The Expedition Against the Alans), Chicago, 1993.
Greetings
