[13] πλησίον δ᾽ ἐστὶ καὶ ἡ Πάτμος καὶ Κορασσίαι πρὸς δύσιν κείμεναι τῇ Ἰκαρίᾳ, αὕτη δὲ Σάμῳ. ἡ μὲν οὖν Ἰκαρία ἔρημός ἐστι, νομὰς δ᾽ ἔχει καὶ χρῶνται αὐταῖς Σάμιοι: τοιαύτη δ᾽ οὖσα ἔνδοξος ὅμως ἐστί, καὶ ἀπ᾽ αὐτῆς Ἰκάριον καλεῖται τὸ προκείμενον πέλαγος, ἐν ᾧ καὶ αὐτὴ καὶ Σάμος καὶ Κῶς ἐστι καὶ αἱ ἄρτι λεχθεῖσαι Κορασσίαι καὶ Πάτμος καὶ Λέρος1. συνάπτει δὲ τῷ Ἰκαρίῳ τὸ Καρπάθιον πέλαγος πρὸς νότον, τούτῳ δὲ τὸ Αἰγύπτιον, πρὸς δὲ δύσιν τό τε Κρητικὸν καὶ τὸ Λιβυκόν.
