σῖτος δὲ αὐτῷ πάντοθεν ἐκ τῆς ἐπὶ τάδε τοῦ Ὑδάσπου χώρας ἐς τὸ στρατόπεδον ξυνεκομίζετο, ὡς δῆλον εἶναι τῷ Πώρῳ ὅτι ἐγνωκὼς εἴη προσλιπαρεῖν τῇ ὄχθῃ, ἔστε τὸ ὕδωρ τοῦ ποταμοῦ μεῖον γενόμενον τοῦ χειμῶνος πολλαχῇ παραδοῦναί οἱ τὸν πόρον· τά τε πλοῖα αὐτῷ ἄλλῃ καὶ ἄλλῃ παραπλέοντα καὶ αἱ διφθέραι τῆς κάρφης ἐμπιπλάμεναι καὶ ἡ ὄχθη πᾶσα πλήρης φαινομένη τῇ μὲν ἱππέων, τῇ δὲ πεζῶν, οὐκ εἴα ἠρεμεῖν τὸν Πῶρον, οὐδὲ ἕν τι ἐπιλεξάμενον ἐς φυλακὴν ξύμφορον ἐς τοῦτο ἐκ πάντων παρασκευάζεσθαι.
