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.
Biezās miglas un viltīgo straumju dēļ braukt laivās bija bīstami, tāpēc Dārijs pavēlēja sasiet laivas rindā, tā izveidojot 900 metru garu pontonu tiltu.
