[4] ὁ δὲ ἀποσταλεὶς ἐπυνθάνετο πλησίον ἐλθὼν τίνες εἴησαν, Χαιρέας δὲ ἐκέλευσεν ἀποκρίνασθαί τινα τῶν Αἰγυπτίων ‘ἡμεῖς ἐξ Αἰγύπτου πλέομεν ἔμποροι, φορτία φέροντες, ἃ Συρακοσίους εὐφρανεῖ.’ ‘μὴ ἀθρόοι τοίνυν εἰσπλεῖτε’ φησίν, ‘ἕως ἂν γνῶμεν εἰ ἀληθεύετε: φορτίδας γὰρ οὐ βλέπω ναῦς ἀλλὰ μακρὰς καὶ ὡς ἐκ πολέμου τριήρεις, ὥστε αἱ μὲν πλείους ἔξω τοῦ λιμένος μετέωροι μεινάτωσαν, μία δὲ καταπλευσάτω.’ ‘ποιήσομεν οὕτως.’
