καὶ αἱ κῶπαι δὲ αὐτοῖς πλαγίοις ἐν ταῖς δίναις γενομένοις συνετρίβοντο, ὅσων γε ἐγκατελήφθησαν ὑπὸ τοῦ ὕδατος οὐ φθασάντων αὐτὰς μετεωρίσαι, ὡς πολλὰς μὲν πονῆσαι τῶν νεῶν, δύο δὲ δὴ περιπεσούσας ἀλλήλαις αὐτάς τε διαφθαρῆναι καὶ τῶν ἐμπλεόντων ἐν αὐταῖς πολλούς. ὡς δὲ ἐς πλάτος ἤδη ὁ ποταμὸς διέσχεν, ἐνταῦθα δὴ ὅ τε ῥοῦς οὐκέτι ὡσαύτως χαλεπὸς ἦν καὶ αἱ δῖναι οὐχ ὁμοίᾳ τῇ βίᾳ ἐπέστρεφον.
