Tertio die amnem superare decreverat, transitu difficilem non spatio solum aquarum, sed etiam saxis impeditum;  percontatus igitur Phegea quae noscenda erant, xii dierum ultra flumen per vastas solitudines iter esse cognoscit, excipere deinde Gangen, maximum totius  Indiae fluminum, ulteriorem ripam colere gentes Gangaridas et Prasios eorumque regem esse Aggrammen, xx milibus equitum ducentisque peditum obsidentem vias.
On the third day he had decided to pass over the river, which was difficult to pass, not only because of the extent of its waters, but also because it was encumbered  with rocks. Accordingly, having inquired of Phegeus what he needed to know, he learned that beyond the river there was a journey of twelve days through desert wastes and that then they came to  the Ganges, the greatest river of all India, and that on its farther bank dwelt the races called Gangaridae and Prasii; that their king was Aggrammes and that he was blocking the roads with 20,000 cavalry and 200,000 infantry.
