    Original Text :ὁ δὲ τοῦ Σεβήρου στρατὸς ἄκων προσαχθεὶς ὑπὸ τοῦ ῥεύματος ταῖς ἐπέκεινα ὄχθαις, ἀπόβασίν τε ποιησάμενος, τὴν γῆν ἐλεηλάτει, θρέμματά τε τὰ ἐμπίπτοντα ἀπελαύνων, ἵν᾿ ἔχοι τροφάς, καὶ κώμας ἐμπιπρὰς τὰς ἐμπιπτούσας.
     
    Translation :After Severus’ army had been carried down by the current to these shores contrary to its own intention, it disembarked and began to devastate the region, driving off the cattle it came across for provisions and burning down the villages in its way.
