Et paulisper detentus, ut omen per hostias litando firmaret, Davanam venit castra praesidiaria, unde ortus Belias fluvius funditur in Euphraten. Hic corporibus cibo curatis et quiete, postridie ventum est ad Callinicum, munimentum robustum et commercandi opimitate gratissimum, ubi diem sextum kalendas Apriles, quo Romae Matri deorum pompae celebrantur annuales, et carpentum, quo vehitur simulacrum, Almonis undis ablui perhibetur, sacrorum sollemnitate prisco more completa, somno per otium capto, exsultans pernoctavit et laetus.
