Just looked it up..
"The king, his troops deserted him and to their cities..."
This is the quote in question a line after "Opposite each other they fought and a heavy defeat of the troops [of the king he inflicted..."
As I see it, this particular quote is indeed most possibly covering events after the battle (the "heavy defeat" mentioned above it). Especially since it is further followed by the "to their cities..." part.
Still.. too few to draw conclusions with any certainty, as far as I am concerned.
BTW, maybe a mod could make a new thread of the last posts regarding Gaugamela? We are totally off the OP....
