Statimque Heliodorus iter est agressus, specie quidem quasi per Cœlesyriam et Phœnicen civitates esset peragraturus, re vera autem regis propositum perfecturus.

Et statim Heliodoro itinere es agerga, specie quidem quasi per Coelesyria et Phoenicene civitates es peragra, re verissimo autem de rege propone perfice.
