Οὐίκτορι δὲ παραδοὺς ὁπλίτας τε καὶ ἱππέας τὰ μέχρι Κτησιφῶντος αὐτῷ διερευνᾶσθαι προσέταξεν, ὥστε, εἴ πού τι φανείη πολέμιον ἀφελκύσαι τὸν βασιλέα τῆς πολιορκίας πειρώμενον, τούτου διὰ τῶν ὑπ’ αὐτῷ τεταγμένων κωλυθῆναι τὴν ἐπιχείρησιν, ἅμα δὲ τὴν ὁδὸν τὴν ἐπὶ Κτησιφῶντα, σταδίων οὖσαν ἐνενήκοντα, γεφυρῶν τε κατασκευαῖς καὶ ζευγμάτων αὐτῷ καὶ τῷ στρατῷ ῥᾴονα καταστῆσαι.
