[4] ἔστι δ᾽ ὀρεινὴ καὶ δασεῖα ἡ νῆσος, ἔχει δ᾽ αὐλῶνας εὐκάρπους. τῶν δ᾽ ὀρῶν τὰ μὲν πρὸς δύσιν καλεῖται Λευκά, οὐ λειπόμενα τοῦ Ταϋγέτου κατὰ τὸ ὕψος, ἐπὶ τὸ μῆκος δ᾽ ἐκτεταμένα ὅσον τριακοσίων σταδίων καὶ ποιοῦντα ῥάχιν τελευτῶσάν πως ἐπὶ τὰ στενά. ἐν μέσῳ δ᾽ ἐστὶ κατὰ τὸ εὐρυχωρότατον τῆς νήσου τὸ Ἰδαῖον ὄρος ὑψηλότατον τῶν ἐκεῖ, περιφερὲς δ᾽ ἐν κύκλῳ σταδίων ἑξακοσίων: περιοικεῖται δ᾽ ὑπὸ τῶν ἀρίστων πόλεων. ἄλλα δ᾽ ἐστὶ πάρισα τοῖς Λευκοῖς, τὰ μὲν ἐπὶ νότον τὰ δ᾽ ἐπὶ τὴν ἕω λήγοντα.
Strabo. ed. A. Meineke, Geographica. Leipzig: Teubner. 1877.
