Amidst growing resistance, Guiscard was kept in the port of Iericho by bad weather for two months

Summary:
[First discussed out of chronological order by Anna Komnene.] Guiscard tried to draw up his fleet out of the water and campaign in different ways, since the islanders and citizens of coastal towns began to refuse his demands after he lost a battle. But he was forced by fear of shipwreck in contrary winds to wait two months in the port of Hiericho
