[14] λέγονται δὲ καὶ τῶν Αἰνιάνων τινὲς οἱ μὲν τὴν Οὐιτίαν οἰκῆσαι οἱ δ᾽ ὕπερθε τῶν Ἀρμενίων ὑπὲρ τὸν Ἄβον καὶ τὸν Νίβαρον （μέρη δ᾽ ἐστὶ τοῦ Ταύρου ταῦτα）, ὧν ὁ Ἄβος ἐγγύς ἐστι τῆς ὁδοῦ τῆς εἰς Ἐκβάτανα φερούσης παρὰ τὸν τῆς Βάριδος νεών. φασὶ δὲ καὶ [p. 747] Θρᾳκῶν τινας, τοὺς προσαγορευομένους Σαραπάρας οἷον κεφαλοτόμους, οἰκῆσαι ὑπὲρ τῆς Ἀρμενίας πλησίον Γουρανίων καὶ Μήδων, θηριώδεις ἀνθρώπους καὶ ἀπειθεῖς ὀρεινοὺς περισκυθιστάς τε καὶ ἀποκεφαλιστάς: τοῦτο γὰρ δηλοῦσιν οἱ Σαραπάραι. εἴρηται δὲ καὶ τὰ περὶ τῆς Μηδείας ἐν τοῖς Μηδικοῖς: ὥστ᾽ ἐκ πάντων τούτων εἰκάζουσι καὶ τοὺς Μήδους καὶ Ἀρμενίους συγγενεῖς πως τοῖς Θετταλοῖς εἶναι καὶ τοῖς ἀπὸ Ἰάσονος καὶ Μηδείας.
