Et quoniam inedia gravi afflictabantur, locum petivere Paleas nomine, vergentem in mare, valido muro firmatum, ubi conduntur nunc usque commeatus, distribui militibus omne latus Isauriae defendentibus assueti. Circumstetere igitur hoc munimentum per triduum et trinoctium, et cum neque acclivitas ipsa sine discrimine posset adiri letali, nec cuniculis quicquam geri, nec procedebat ullam obsidionale commentum, maesti excedunt, postrema vi subigente maiora viribus aggressuri.
