[4] ὕδωρ δὲ ἐξ οὐρανοῦ πολὺ Ἀλεξάνδρῳ ἐγένετο, καὶ τοῦτο ἐς τὸ θεῖον ἀνηνέχθη. ἀνηνέχθη δὲ ἐς τὸ θεῖον καὶ τόδε: ἄνεμος νότος ἐπὰν πνεύσῃ ἐν ἐκείνῳ τῷ χώρῳ, τῆς ψάμμου ἐπιφορεῖ κατὰ τῆς ὁδοῦ ἐπὶ μέγα, καὶ ἀφανίζεται τῆς ὁδοῦ τὰ σημεῖα οὐδὲ ἔστιν εἰδέναι ἵνα χρὴ πορεύεσθαι καθάπερ ἐν πελάγει τῇ ψάμμῳ, ὅτι σημεῖα οὐκ ἔστι κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν οὔτε που ὄρος οὔτε δένδρον οὔτε γήλοφοι βέβαιοι ἀνεστηκότες, οἷς2τισιν οἱ ὁδῖται τεκμαίροιντο ἂν τὴν πορείαν, καθάπερ οἱ ναῦται τοῖς ἄστροις: ἀλλὰ ἐπλανᾶτο γὰρ ἡ στρατιὰ Ἀλεξάνδρῳ καὶ 1 οἱ ἡγεμόνες τῆς ὁδοῦ ἀμφίβολοι ἦσαν.
