Unfortunately those spells weren't available to Pyth but just looking at the battle again - ~25 anakites and 20 indies/edomites might have been tough regardless. Even berserking, defense is 15 as they have an Att+2/Def+2 bless along with regnerating 3HP round (5% regen) and +4 reinvig. Most have one or more stars from whomping on indies so typical non berserking is Att 15 / Def 18 - not easy to hit. Communion boosted Word of Power / Smites / Thunderstrikes was effective versus smaller groups, but I didn't have enough men (~75 principes) to hold them off this time.

PS I see from some of the home garrison on some of his units that Ashdod took out Patala and controls their capital. No wonder Patala exited so quickly this game.
