Digesto itaque consilio cum primatibus super Ctesiphontis obsidio, itum est in voluntatem quorundam, facinus audax et importunum esse noscentium id aggredi, quod et civitas situ ipso inexpugnabilis defendebatur, et cum metuenda multitudine protinus rex adfore credebatur.
Having held council with his most distinguished generals about the siege of Ctesiphon, the opinion of some was adopted, who felt sure that the undertaking was rash and untimely, since the city, impregnable by its situation alone, was well defended; and, besides, it was believed that the king would soon appear with a formidable force.
