εὐρυνομένου δὲ κατὰ βραχὺ τοῦ στομίου πάντες ἦσαν ἐν μέσῳ. τότε δὴ λοιπὸν ἐπὶ τὸ τεῖχος ἐλάσαντες ἐπέστησαν παρὰ πᾶσαν ἐλπίδα τοῖς Πέρσαις ᾅσματα λέγουσιν ἐπιχώρια, τὴν μὲν τοῦ σφῶν βασιλέως ἀνδρείαν ὑμνοῦντα, διαβάλλοντα δὲ τὴν τοῦ Ῥωμαίων βασιλέως ἀνέφικτον ἐπιχείρησιν: ῥᾷον γὰρ ἔφασκον αὐτὸν τὴν τοῦ Διὸς αἱρήσειν αὐλὴν ἢ τὸ φρούριον.
