τῇ δὲ καλουμένῃ Νύσῃ τῶν Μακεδόνων ὀκνούντων προσάγειν ;
καὶ γάρ ποταμὸς ἦν πρὸς αὐτῇ βαθὺσ᾽ ᾿ ἐπιστὰς, ‘τί γὰρ,’ εἶπεν, ‘ὁ κάκιστος ἐγὼ νεῖν οὐκ
ἔμαθον’ καὶ ἤδη ἔχων τὴν ἀσπίδα περᾶν ἠθέλησεν. ἐπεὶ δὲ
καταπαύσαντος τὴν μάχην αὐτοῦ παρῆσαν ἀπὸ τῶν πολιορκουμένων πόλεων
πρέσβεις δεησόμενοι, πρῶτον μὲν ὀφθεὶς ἀθεράπευτος ἐν τοῖς ὅπλοις
ἐξέπληξεν αὐτούς: ἔπειτα προσκεφαλαίου τινὸς αὐτῷ κομισθέντος ἐκέλευσε
λαβόντα καθίσαι τὸν πρεσβύτατον: Ἄκουφις ἐκαλεῖτο.
