ἐπεὶ δὲ τὰ στενὰ τῆς Προποντίδος κατέλαβον, τότε δὴ τῶν νεῶν τὸ πλῆθος ἐνεγκεῖν τὴν τοῦ ῥοῦ ταχυτῆτα μὴ δυνάμενον ἀλλήλοις τὰ πλοῖα προσήραττεν, καὶ ἐφέρετο τὰ σκάφη σὺν οὐδενὶ κόσμῳ, τῶν κυβερνητῶν μεθιέντων τοὺς οἴακας, ὥστε τὰς μὲν καταδῦναι αὐτάνδρους, τινὰς δὲ καὶ ἀνδρῶν ἐρήμους ὀκεῖλαι, πλήθους πολλοῦ καὶ ἀνθρώπων καὶ πλοίων ἀπολομένου.
