It was dangerous to cross the strait by boat because of heavy fog and treacherous currents, so Darius lashed boats together until he had made a floating pontoon bridge 3,000 feet [900 m] long.
Kuna aga tiheda udu ja reetlike hoovuste tõttu oli ohtlik ületada väina paadiga, sidus Dareios paadid omavahel kokku, nii et neist moodustus 900 meetri pikkune ujuksild.
