The whole march from New Carthage had occupied five months, the actual passage
of the Alps fifteen days, and he now boldly entered the valley of the Padus, and the
territory of the Insubres, with such of his army as survived, consisting of twelve thousand
Libyans and eight thousand Iberians, and not more than six thousand cavalry in all, as he
himself distinctly states on the stelae erected on the promontory of Lacinium to record the
numbers. (E.S. Shuckburgh).

Pythagoras then, after his friends had been defeated, first looked for shelter in the
small anchorage of Caulonia, and then from there in Locri. (D. Bartoli).

Aurelius Isidorus, Procurator of the Lower Thebaid, to the Strategi of the
Procuratorial district, greeting. Since the ten state ships being sent to Syene for the
transport down river of the columns are insufficient to carry all of them, and since their
transportation is most urgent, it has become necessary that other ships should be sent to
take the remaining columns on board and bring them down to Alexandria. If these ships
do not receive sufficient assistance from the winds, ….., they will exceed the time limit
by which the columns must be brought to Alexandria, especially as the fall in the level
of the water is increasing daily. Let everyone of you, therefore, considering the absolute
necessity of this task, display his own zeal, and while the ships are going up river,
whenever they are not propelled by the winds, give his personal attention to seeing that
they are towed by their crews and the inhabitants of the villages of the river ports, and
hand them over to the next Strategus. And let each of you give receipts whenever the
ships reach the boundaries of his nome, and take the same when he hands them over.
