ἐπελθεῖν, οὐδὲν τοιοῦτον προσδεχομένοις: καὶ δὴ τὰ τῆς ἐλπίδος αὐτοῖς εἰς ἔργον ἐξέβαινεν, εἰ μὴ διῶρυξ ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ Εὐφράτου, πέρα τοῦ συνήθους ῥυεῖσα, τῶν περὶ τὸν Ὁρμίσδην ἐκώλυσε τὴν διάβασιν. καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ἀναβληθείσης τῆς παρόδου, τῇ ὑστεραίᾳ φανέντι τῷ σουρήνᾳ καὶ τοῖς κοινωνήσασιν αὐτῷ τῆς ἐνέδρας συστραφέντες ἐπέθεντο, καὶ τοὺς μὲν ἀνελόντες τοὺς δὲ τρέψαντες εἰς φυγὴν τῇ λοιπῇ στρατιᾷ συνέμιξαν.
