ἐλθὼν τοίνυν εἰς τὸν Βόσπορον, ἔχων ἐπιστολὰς παρ᾽ ἐμοῦ, ἃς ἔδωκ᾽ αὐτῷ ἀπενεγκεῖν τῷ παιδὶ τῷ ἐμῷ παραχειμάζοντι ἐκεῖ καὶ κοινωνῷ τινί, γράψας ἐν τῇ ἐπιστολῇ τό τε ἀργύριον ὃ ἐδεδανείκειν καὶ τὴν ὑποθήκην, καὶ προστάξας, ἐπειδὰν τάχιστα ἐξαιρεθῇ τὰ χρήματα, ἐξετάζειν καὶ παρακολουθεῖν, τὰς μὲν ἐπιστολὰς οὐκ ἀποδίδωσιν οὗτος ἃς ἔλαβεν παρ᾽ ἐμοῦ, ἵνα μηδὲν εἰδείησαν ὧν ἔπραττεν οὗτος, καταλαβὼν δ᾽ ἐν τῷ Βοσπόρῳ μοχθηρὰ τὰ πράγματα διὰ τὸν συμβάντα πόλεμον τῷ Παιρισάδῃ πρὸς τὸν Σκύθην καὶ τῶν φορτίων ὧν ἦγεν πολλὴν ἀπρασίαν, ἐν πάσῃ ἀπορίᾳ ἦν: καὶ γὰρ οἱ δανεισταὶ εἴχοντο αὐτοῦ οἱ τὰ ἑτερόπλοα δανείσαντες.
