[4] τέτταρες δ᾽ εἰσὶν εἰς τὴν χώραν εἰσβολαί: μία μὲν διὰ Σαραπανῶν φρουρίου Κολχικοῦ καὶ τῶν κατ᾽ αὐτὸ στενῶν, δι᾽ ὧν ὁ Φᾶσις γεφύραις ἑκατὸν καὶ εἴκοσι περατὸς γινόμενος διὰ τὴν σκολιότητα καταρρεῖ τραχὺς καὶ βίαιος εἰς τὴν Κολχίδα, πολλοῖς χειμάρροις κατὰ τὰς ἐπομβρίας ἐκχαραδρουμένων τῶν τόπων. γεννᾶται δ᾽ ἐκ τῶν ὑπερκειμένων ὀρῶν πολλαῖς [p. 703] συμπληρούμενος πηγαῖς, ἐν δὲ τοῖς πεδίοις καὶ ἄλλους προσλαμβάνει ποταμούς, ὧν ἐστιν ὅ τε Γλαῦκος καὶ ὁ Ἵππος: πληρωθεὶς δὲ καὶ γενόμενος πλωτὸς ἐξίησιν εἰς τὸν Πόντον καὶ ἔχει πόλιν ὁμώνυμον ἐφ᾽ αὑτῷ καὶ λίμνην πλησίον. ἡ μὲν οὖν ἐκ τῆς Κολχίδος εἰς τὴν Ἰβηρίαν ἐμβολὴ τοιαύτη, πέτραις καὶ ἐρύμασι καὶ ποταμοῖς χαραδρώδεσι διακεκλεισμένη.
