[5] ἀλλὰ ἀπεφράσσοντο γὰρ αἱ ἐς τὸν Πολλακόπαν τοῦ Εὐφράτου ἐκβολαὶ πρὸς τοῦ σατράπου τῆς Βαβυλωνίας πολλῷ πόνῳ, καίπερ οὐ χαλεπῶς ἀναστομούμεναι, ὅτι ἰλυώδης τε ἡ ταύτῃ γῆ καὶ πηλὸς ἡ πολλὴ αὐτῆς, οἵα δεχομένη τὸ ὕδωρ τοῦ ποταμοῦ μὴ εὐμαρῆ τὴν ἀποστροφὴν αὐτοῦ παρέχειν: ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐς τρίτον μῆνα Ἀσσυρίων ἄνδρες ὑπὲρ τοὺς μυρίους ἐν τῷδε τῷ πόνῳ ξυνείχοντο. ταῦτα ἀπαγγελθέντα ἐπήγαγεν Ἀλέξανδρον ὠφελῆσαί τι τὴν χώραν τὴν Ἀσσυρίαν.
