διελόμενοι δὲ τὴν ὁδὸν ἦγον τὰς δυνάμεις ὁ μὲν Γαΐνης ἐπὶ τὴν Βιθυνίαν, ἅτερος δὲ ἐπὶ τὸν Ἑλλήσποντον, τὰ ἐν ποσὶ πάντα τοῖς ἑπομένοις σφίσι βαρβάροις ἐκδόντες εἰς ἁρπαγήν. ὡς δὲ ὃ μὲν τὴν Χαλκηδόνα κατέλαβεν ὃ δὲ τὰ περὶ τὴν Λάμψακον εἶχε, τὴν μὲν Κωνσταντινούπολιν καὶ αὐτὴν τὴν Ῥωμαίων ἐπικράτειαν ἔσχατος περιίστατο κίνδυνος, ὁ δὲ Γαΐνης αὐτὸν ᾔτει τὸν βασιλέα πρὸς ἑαυτὸν ἥκειν: οὐ γὰρ ἂν ἑτέρῳ παρὰ τοῦτόν τινι διαλέξασθαι.
