ξυνέβη δὲ χειμῶνί τε κακοπαθῆσαι αὐτῷ τὴν στρατιὰν πολλῆς χιόνος ἐπιπεσούσης ἐν τῇ πολιορκίᾳ καὶ ἅμα ἀπορίᾳ τῶν ἐπιτηδείων ἐπιέσθησαν. ἀλλὰ Χοριήνης ἐς δίμηνον σιτία ἔφη δώσειν τῇ στρατιᾷ καὶ ἔδωκεν σῖτόν τε καὶ οἶνον τῶν ἐν τῇ πέτρᾳ ἀποθέτων κρέα τε ταριχηρὰ κατὰ σκηνήν. καὶ ταῦτα δοὺς οὐκ ἔφασκεν ἀναλῶσαι τῶν παρεσκευασμένων ἐς τὴν πολιορκίαν οὐδὲ τὴν δεκάτην μοῖραν. ἔνθεν ἐν τιμῇ μᾶλλον τῷ Ἀλεξάνδρῳ ἦν ὡς οὐ πρὸς βίαν μᾶλλον ἢ κατὰ γνώμην ἐνδοὺς τὴν πέτραν.
