τὰ ὑπὸ τοῦ Ἀλεξάνδρου προστεταγμένα. καταθέμενος δὲ ἡμᾶς ἐν Αἰγιαλοῖς, ὧν καὶ ὁ καλὸς Ὅμηρος μέμνηται, ὀπίσω ἀπήλαυνον.
ἔνθα ἐγὼ παραπλέοντας εὑρὼν Βοσποριανούς τινας, πρέσβεις παρ᾽ Εὐπάτορος τοῦ βασιλέως εἰς τὴν Βιθυνίαν ἀπιόντας ἐπὶ κομιδῇ τῆς ἐπετείου συντάξεως, καὶ διηγησάμενος αὐτοῖς τὸν περιστάντα ἡμᾶς κίνδυνον, καὶ δεξιῶν αὐτῶν τυχών, ἀναληφθεὶς ἐπὶ τὸ πλοῖον διασώζομαι εἰς τὴν
Ἄμαστριν, παρὰ τοσοῦτον ἐλθὼν ἀποθανεῖν. τοὐντεῦθεν καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπεκορυσσόμην αὐτῷ καὶ πάντα κάλων ἐκίνουν ἀμύνασθαι βουλόμενος, καὶ πρὸ τῆς ἐπιβουλῆς ἤδη μισῶν αὐτὸν καὶ ἔχθιστον ἡγούμενος διὰ τὴν τοῦ τρόπου μιαρίαν, καὶ πρὸς τὴν κατηγορίαν ὡρμήμην πολλοὺς συναγωνιστὰς ἔχων καὶ μάλιστα τοὺς ἀπὸ Τιμοκράτους. τοῦ Ἡρακλεώτου φιλοσόφου: ἀλλ᾽ ὁ τότε ἡγούμενος Βιθυνίας καὶ τοῦ Πόντου Αὔειτος ^ ἐπέσχε,
μονονουχὶ ἱκετεύων καὶ ἀντιβολῶν παύσασθαι: διὰ γὰρ τὴν πρὸς Ῥουτιλιανὸν εὔνοιαν μὴ ἂν δύνασθαι, καὶ εἰ φανερῶς λάβοι ἀδικοῦντα, κολάσαι αὐτόν. οὕτω μὲν ἀνεκόπην τῆς ὁρμῆς καὶ ἐπαυσάμην οὐκ ἐν δέοντι θρασυνόμενος ἐφ᾽
οὕτω δικαστοῦ διακειμένου.
