Interim et urbes plerasque condidit, et Nearcho atque Onesicrito, nauticae rei peritis, imperavit ut validissimas navium deducerent in Oceanum, progressique quoad tuto possent, naturam maris noscerent; vel eodem amne vel Euphrate subire eos posse, cum reverti ad se vellent.
Meanwhile he both founded several cities and ordered Nearchus and One-sicritus, who were skilled in navigation, to sail the strongest ships down to the Ocean, and having gone as far as they safely could, to make themselves acquainted with the nature of the sea, saying that when they wished to return to him, they could come up either by that same river or by the Euphrates.
