Not according to the sources which tell us that the bulk of the baggage, money, and treasure had been sent to Damascus.aleksandros wrote:his baggage was near the battlefield. thats where the royal family was.
Curtius 3.8.12 Darius dispatched all his money and most precious treasures to Damascus in Syria with a small military escort, and then he took the rest of his forces into Cilicia, his wife and his mother following the army according to Persian custom.
Arrian 2.11. 9-10 Darius camp was stormed at once, and captured with his mother, wife, who was also his sister, and his infant son; two daughters were taken too, with a few noble Persian ladies in their suite. The other Persians had in fact dispatched their womenfolk and baggage to Damascus; Darius too had sent there the greater part of his money and everything a great king takes with him even on campaign for his extravagant way of living; so they found no more than three thousand talents in the camp. However, the money at Damascus too was captured soon after by Parmenio, who was specifically detailed for this purpose.
Plutarch, Alexander 20.11 He found his Macedonians carrying off the wealth from the camp of the Barbarians, and the wealth was of surpassing abundance, although its owners had come to the battle in light marching order and had left most of their baggage in Damascus; he found, too, that his men had picked out for him the tent of Dareius, which was full to overflowing with gorgeous servitors and furniture, and many treasures.
Diodorus 17.32.3 Dareius decided to make his army mobile and diverted his baggage train and the non-combatants to Damascus in Syria ; then, learning that Alexander was holding the passes and thinking that he would never dare to fight in the plain, made his way quickly to meet him.
