καὶ τὸ τῶν ναυτῶν πλῆθος στρατοπέδῳ ἄν τις εἰκάσειεν. ἐλέγετο δὲ καὶ τοσοῦτον ἄγειν σῖτον, ὡς ἱκανὸν εἶναι πᾶσι τοῖς ἐν τῇ Ἀττικῇ ἐνιαύσιον πρὸς τροφήν. κἀκεῖνα πάντα μικρός τις ἀνθρωπίσκος γέρων ἤδη ἔσωζεν ὑπὸ λεπτῇ κάμακι τὰ τηλικαῦτα πηδάλια περιστρέφων· ἐδείχθη γάρ μοι ἀναφαλαντίας τις, οὖλος, Ἥρων, οἶμαι, τοὔνομα. θαυμάσιος τὴν τέχνην, ὡς ἔφασκον οἱ ἐμπλέοντες, καὶ τὰ θαλάττια σοφὸς ὑπὲρ τὸν Πρωτέα.
