ἐγνώκει γὰρ ὁ Οὐίβιος ἁπάσῃ φιλοφροσύνῃ θεραπεύειν τὸν Κράσσον, ᾧ γε καί τὸ τῆς ὥρας ἐν νῷ λαβεῖν ἐπῆλθεν, ὡς παντάπασι νεανίας εἴη καί τι καί ταῖς καθʼ ἡλικίαν ἡδοναῖς αὐτοῦ χαριστέον, ἐπεὶ τήν γε χρείαν ἀναγκαίως μᾶλλον ἢ προθύμως ὑπουργοῦντος εἶναι, δύο δὴ θεραπαινίδας εὐπρεπεῖς ἀναλαβὼν ἐβάδιζεν ἐπὶ τήν θάλασσαν, ὡς δʼ ἦλθεν ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον, δείξας τήν ἄνοδον ἐκέλευεν εἴσω πορεύεσθαι καί θαρρεῖν.
