[17] ἡ δὲ Κάρπαθος, ἣν Κράπαθον εἶπεν ὁ ποιητής, ὑψηλή ἐστι, κύκλον ἔχουσα σταδίων διακοσίων. τετράπολις δ᾽ ὑπῆρξε καὶ ὄνομα εἶχεν ἀξιόλογον, ἀφ᾽ οὗ καὶ τῷ πελάγει τοὔνομα ἐγένετο. μία δὲ τῶν πόλεων ἐκαλεῖτο Νίσυρος ὁμώνυμος τῇ τῶν Νισυρίων νήσῳ. κεῖται δὲ τῆς Λιβύης κατὰ Λευκὴν ἀκτήν, ἣ τῆς μὲν Ἀλεξανδρείας περὶ χιλίους διέχει σταδίους, τῆς δὲ Καρπάθου περὶ τετρακισχιλίους.
