Ἑσπέρας δὲ ἐπιγενομένης, μόνη ἡ αἰχμάλωτος αὐτόθι διενυκτέρευσεν, ἱκετεύουσα τὸν Θεὸν, εὐπετῆ γενέσθαι τῶν κιόνων τὴν διόρθωσιν: οἱ δὲ ἄλλοι πάντες ἀνεχώρησαν δυσφοροῦντες, καὶ μάλιστα ὁ βασιλεύς: ὀρθωθεὶς γὰρ μέχρι τοῦ μέσου ὁ κίων, ἐγκάρσιος ἔμενε, καὶ τῷ ἐδάφει ἐμπαγεὶς, ἐκ τῆς κάτωθεν ἀρχῆς ἀκίνητος ἦν. Ἔμελλε δὲ διὰ τοῦτο καὶ τὰ πρὸ τούτου παράδοξα βεβαιοτέρους καὶ περὶ τὸ θεῖον ποιήσειν τοὺς Ἵβηρας.
