περὶ δὲ τοῖς Πατάλοις σχίζεται τοῦ Ἰνδοῦ τὸ ὕδωρ ἐς δύο ποταμοὺς μεγάλους, καὶ οὗτοι ἀμφότεροι σώζουσι τοῦ Ἰνδοῦ τὸ ὄνομα ἔστε ἐπὶ τὴν θάλασσαν. ἐνταῦθα ναύσταθμόν τε καὶ νεωσοίκους ἐποίει Ἀλέξανδρος· ὡς δὲ προὐκεχωρήκει αὐτῷ τὰ ἔργα, ὁ δὲ καταπλεῖν ἐπενόει ἔστε ἐπὶ τὴν ἐκβολὴν τοῦ ἐν δεξιᾷ ῥέοντος ποταμοῦ ἐς τὴν θάλασσαν. Λεοννάτον μὲν δὴ δοὺς αὐτῷ τῶν τε ἱππέων ἐς χιλίους καὶ τῶν ὁπλιτῶν τε καὶ ψιλῶν ἐς ὀκτακισχιλίους κατὰ τὴν νῆσον τὰ Πάταλα ἐκπέμπει ἀντιπαράγειν τῷ στόλῳ, αὐτὸς δὲ τὰς μάλιστα τῶν νεῶν ταχυναυτούσας ἀναλαβὼν ὅσαι τε ἡμιόλιαι καὶ τὰς τριακοντόρους πάσας καὶ τῶν κερκούρων ἔστιν οὓς ἔπλει κατὰ τὸν ποταμὸν τὸν ἐν δεξιᾷ.
