”1ὅτι μὲν τὸ Νήριτον ὄρος λέγει τῷ ἐπιθέτῳ δηλοῖ. ἐν ἄλλοις δὲ καὶ ῥητῶς ὄρος“ ναιετάω δ᾽ Ἰθάκην εὐδείελον: ἐν δ᾽ ὄρος αὐτῇ,
Νήριτον εἰνοσίφυλλον ἀριπρεπές.
”2Ἰθάκην δ᾽ εἴτε τὴν πόλιν εἴτε τὴν νῆσον λέγει, οὐ δῆλον ἐν τούτῳ γε τῷ ἔπει“ οἵ ῥ᾽ Ἰθάκην εἶχον καὶ Νήριτον.

”4δῆλον: ἐν γὰρ τῇ νήσῳ οὐκ ἐν τῇ πόλει τὸ ὄρος. ὅταν δὲ οὕτω φῇ“ ἡμεῖς ἐξ Ἰθάκης ὑπὸ Νηίου εἰλήλουθμεν,
”5ἄδηλον, εἴτε τὸ αὐτὸ τῷ Νηρίτῳ λέγει τὸ Νήιον εἴτε ἕτερον ἢ ὄρος ἢ χωρίον6.
