προσορμίσας οὖν τῇ ἐν δεξιᾷ ὄχθῃ Ἀλέξανδρος τὸν στρατόν, ἵνα σκέπη τε ἦν τοῦ ῥοῦ καὶ προσβολὴ ταῖς ναυσὶν καί τις καὶ ἄκρα τοῦ ποταμοῦ ἐπιτηδείως ἀνεῖχεν ἐς τῶν ναυαγίων τε τὴν ξυναγωγὴν καὶ εἴ τινες ἐπʼ αὐτῶν ζῶντες ἔτι ἐφέροντο, τούτους τε διέσωσε καὶ ἐπισκευάσας τὰς πεπονηκυίας τῶν νεῶν Νέαρχον μὲν καταπλεῖν κελεύει ἔστʼ ἂν ἀφίκηται ἐπὶ τὰ ὅρια τοῦ Μαλλῶν ἔθνους, αὐτὸς δὲ τῶν βαρβάρων τῶν οὐ προσχωρούντων καταδρομὴν τῆς χώρας ποιησάμενος καὶ κωλύσας ἐπικουρῆσαι αὐτοὺς τοῖς Μαλλοῖς, οὕτω δὴ αὖθις ξυνέμιξε τῷ ναυτικῷ.
