Γαΐνης δέ, ἃ συνέκειτο πρὸς Τριβίγιλδον αὐτῷ λαβὼν κατὰ νοῦν, καὶ ὡς ἐνέστηκεν ὁ καιρὸς ἀντιλαβέσθαι κελεύων τῆς ἐγχειρήσεως, ἐπὶ τὸν Ἑλλήσποντον ἄγειν Τριβιγίλδῳ τὴν στρατιὰν ἐκέλευεν. εἰ μὲν οὖν ἅπερ ἐφρόνει κατὰ τῆς πολιτείας ἐταμιεύσατο καὶ ἡσυχῇ μετὰ τῶν σὺν αὐτῷ βαρβάρων τῆς Κωνσταντινουπόλεως ἔτυχεν ἐξορμήσας, πάντως ἂν ἐξέβαινεν αὐτῷ τὸ βεβουλευμένον εἰς τέλος, καὶ ἥ τε Ἀσία πᾶσα κατείληπτο καὶ συναπολέσθαι ταύτῃ τὴν ἑῴαν οὐδὲν ἦν τὸ κωλῦον.
