He took to the river in order to reach his nephew, and his nephew likewise boarded a second boat, intending to assassinate him, and said to his companions: "When I embrace him, kill him." When they met in the middle of the river, his nephew embraced him, and his companions killed him as he had instructed them, and he took possession of his kingdom and his troops.
