μὲν ἐποιήθη Ἀλεξάνδρῳ οὔτε Ἀριστόβουλος οὔτε Πτολεμαῖος, οἷς μάλιστα ἐγὼ ἕπομαι, λέγουσιν: οὐδὲ αὐτὸς ἔχω ἀτρεκῶς εἰκάσαι, πότερα πλοίοις ἐζεύχθη ὁ πόρος, καθάπερ οὖν ὁ Ἑλλήσποντός τε πρὸς Ξέρξου καὶ ὁ Βόσπορός τε καὶ ὁ Ἴστρος πρὸς Δαρείου, ἢ γέφυρα κατὰ τοῦ ποταμοῦ διηνεκὴς ἐποιήθη αὐτῷ: δοκεῖ δ᾽ ἔμοιγε πλοίοις μᾶλλον ζευχθῆναι: οὐ γὰρ ἂν δέξασθαι γέφυραν τὸ βάθος τοῦ ὕδατος, οὐδ᾽ ἂν ἐν τοσῷδε χρόνῳ ἔργον οὕτως ἄτοπον ξυντελεσθῆναι.
