[4] ἄλλως τε καὶ ἀπορία ὕλης ἐν τοῖς πόνοις ἦν καὶ τριβὴ πολλὴ ἐφαίνετο, εἰ μακρόθεν μετίοιεν ὅσα ἐς γεφύρωσιν τοῦ πόρου. ξυναγαγὼν οὖν τὰς διφθέρας, ὑφ᾽ αἷς ἐσκήνουν οἱ στρατιῶται, φορυτοῦ ἐμπλῆσαί ἐκέλευσεν ὡς ξηροτάτου καὶ καταδῆσαί τε καὶ ξυρράψαι ἀκριβῶς, τοῦ μὴ ἐσδύεσθαι ἐς αὐτὰς τοῦ ὕδατος. ἐμπλησθεῖσαι [p. 144] δὲ καὶ ξυρραφεῖσαι ἱκαναὶ ἐγένοντο διαβιβάσαι τὴν στρατιὰν ἐν πέντε ἡμέραις.
