Translation

[Meaning] the sailing-out of the ships.
"And a launching of the ships took place not in keeping with the size of such an embarking army or magnficence of the armaments or the other preparations that exceeded necessity for beauty."¹
And elsewhere: "having surveyed the situation in Egypt, they made their launch for Cyprus and thence to Syria."²

Greek original

Ἀναγωγή· ὁ τῶν νηῶν ἔκπλους. καὶ γίνεται ἀναγωγὴ τῶν νηῶν οὐ κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος οὕτω τῆς ἐπιβαινούσης αὐτῷ στρατιᾶς ἢ κατὰ τῶν ὅπλων λαμπρότητα ἢ τὴν ἄλλην ὑπὲρ τὸ ἀναγκαῖον ἐς κάλλος παρασκευήν. καὶ αὖθις· οἱ δὲ κατασκεψάμενοι τὰ κατὰ τὴν Αἴγυπτον ἐπὶ Κύπρου κἀκεῖθεν ἐπὶ Συρίας τὴν ἀναγωγὴν ἐποιήσαντο.
