Cebriones recognizes Ajax by his broad shield and advises turning the chariot toward the fiercest fighting.
See evidence text
“I know him by the breadth of his shield: let us turn our chariot and horses thither, where horse and foot are fighting most desperately, and where the cry of battle is loudest”

Cebriones lashes the team through fallen bodies and shields until the chariot is splashed with blood.
See evidence text
“he lashed his goodly steeds, and when they felt the whip they drew the chariot full speed among the Achaeans and Trojans, over the bodies and shields of those that had fallen: the axle was bespattered with blood, and the rail round the car was covered with splashes both from the horses’ hoofs and from the tyres of the wheels”

Cebriones is struck in the forehead by Patroclus’s stone; his brow-bone shatters, his eyes fall at his feet, and he drops dead from the chariot.
See evidence text
“The stone hit him on the forehead and drove his brows into his head for the bone was smashed, and his eyes fell to the ground at his feet. He dropped dead from his chariot as though he were diving, and there was no more life left in him.”

Spears, arrows, and stones fall around Cebriones as his huge corpse lies in whirling dust, heedless now of chariot-driving.
See evidence text
“Many a pointed spear fell to ground and many a winged arrow sped from its bow-string about the body of Cebriones; many a great stone, moreover, beat on many a shield as they fought around his body, but there he lay in the whirling clouds of dust, all huge and hugely, heedless of his driving now.”
