But

"Since Narses, the general of Italy, combined sense with great deeds in all things, and his strength joined with prudence, and he dedicated himself altogether to what was better, in such a way that he did not divert from order, and straightway he passed through the stream with the current."[2]

Menander Protector fr. 3.2 Blockley (44-45). Agreeing with Baldwin (121) that this unattributed fragment is Menandrian in style, Blockley places it here because it fits the context of fr. 3.1; cf. Blockley (252 note 12). Here Blockley (44) reads
su\n tw=| stratw=|: "with his army" rather than "with the current". If the fragment's placement is indeed correct, then the river in question is the Attisus (Athesis, which flows by
Verona, Italy; cf. Barrington Atlas map 39 grid H2) of fr. 3.1. For Narses see
nu 42.
