Ἐντεῦθεν ὁρμήσαντες ἦλθον εἴς τινα διώρυχα μεγίστην, ἣν ἔλεγον οἱ τῇδε παρὰ Τραϊανοῦ διωρύχθαι Πέρσαις ἐπιστρατεύσαντος: εἰς ἣν ἐμβαλὼν ὁ Ναρμαλάχης ποταμὸς εἰς τὸν Τίγριν ἐκδίδωσι. ταύτην ὁ βασιλεὺς καθῆραί τε ἅμα καὶ ἐρευνᾶν διενοήθη, πόρον τε τοῖς πλοίοις ἐπὶ τὸν Τίγρητα παρασκευάζων, καὶ εἴ πῃ παρείκοι, γεφύρας τῇ τοῦ πολλοῦ στρατοῦ διαβάσει.
