διαιρεῖ δὲ ταύτας ὁ Τίγρις, καὶ γέφυρα ἦν, ἣ τὰς ἐπιμιξίας τοῖς ἀμφοτέρων οἰκήτορσιν ἐδίδου ῥᾳδίας καὶ συνεχεῖς, ἣν οἱ Πέρσαι κατέφλεξαν, ὡς ἂν μὴ διὰ ταύτης οἱ Ῥωμαῖοι κατ̓ ἐξουσίαν ἑκατέροις παρενοχλοῖεν. ἔνθα που λόχοι Περσῶν ἀναφανέντες ὑπὸ τῶν προνομευόντων κατασκόπων ἐτράπησαν. καὶ ἅμα τροφὴν ἄφθονον ὁ στρατὸς εὑρὼν ἐν ταύτῃ τῇ κώμῃ, καὶ ὅσα πρὸς τὴν χρείαν ἤρκει λαβών, τὸ περιττὸν ὅσον ἦν ἅπαν διέφθειρεν.
