Rex cum ex eo quod acciderat coniectaret post solis ortum statum tempus esse, media nocte, ut aestum occuparet, cum paucis navigiis secundo amne defluxit evectusque os eius, cccc stadia processit in mare, tandem voti sui compos.
The king, since from what had happened he conjectured that the regular time was after sunrise, in the middle of the night, in order to anticipate the tide, with a few ships went down the river and, carried out to its mouth, proceeded 400 stadia into the sea, at last accomplishing the object of his prayers.
