Diodorus relates how the Nabataeans survived in a waterless desert and managed to defeat their enemies by hiding in the desert until the latter surrendered for lack of water.
Diodoros menguraikan bagaimana bangsa Nabatea bertahan hidup di gurun tanpa sumber air dan bagaimana mereka mengalahkan musuh-musuhnya dengan jalan bersembunyi di gurun sampai musuh-musuhnya menyerah karena kehabisan air.
