Erant inter duas classis vada transitu angusto, quae pertinent ad regionem Africae'sic enim praedicant, partem esse Alexandreae dimidiam Africae'satisque diu inter ipsos est exspectatum ab utris transeundi fieret initium, propterea quod ei qui intrassent et ad explicandam classem et ad receptum, si durior accidisset casus, impeditiores fore videbantur.
Between the two fleets lay shoals with a narrow intersecting channel (these shoals belong to the region of Africa'in fact they say that half Alexandria is part of Africa); and for quite a long time there was a pause among the actual combatants as they waited to see which side was to begin the passage, inasmuch as it seemed that those who once entered the channel would be more restricted both in deploying their fleet and, if things fared badly, in withdrawing.
