[3] διαρρεῖται δὲ καὶ ποταμοῖς ἡ Ὑρκανία τῷ τε Ὤχῳ καὶ Ὤξῳ μέχρι τῆς εἰς θάλατταν ἐκβολῆς, ὧν ὁ Ὦχος καὶ διὰ τῆς Νησαίας ῥεῖ: ἔνιοι δὲ τὸν Ὦχον εἰς τὸν Ὦξον ἐμβάλλειν φασίν. Ἀριστόβουλος δὲ καὶ μέγιστον ἀποφαίνει τὸν Ὦξον τῶν ἑωραμένων ὑφ᾽ ἑαυτοῦ κατὰ τὴν Ἀσίαν πλὴν τῶν Ἰνδικῶν: φησὶ δὲ καὶ εὔπλουν εἶναι καὶ οὗτος καὶ Ἐρατοσθένης παρὰ Πατροκλέους λαβών, καὶ πολλὰ τῶν Ἰνδικῶν φορτίων κατάγειν εἰς τὴν Ὑρκανίαν θάλατταν, ἐντεῦθεν δ᾽ εἰς τὴν Ἀλβανίαν περαιοῦσθαι καὶ διὰ τοῦ Κύρου καὶ τῶν ἑξῆς τόπων εἰς τὸν Εὔξεινον καταφέρεσθαι. οὐ πάνυ δὲ ὑπὸ τῶν παλαιῶν ὁ Ὦχος ὀνομάζεται: Ἀπολλόδωρος μέντοι ὁ τὰ Παρθικὰ γράψας συνεχῶς αὐτὸν ὀνομάζει ὡς ἐγγυτάτω τοῖς Παρθυαίοις ῥέοντα.
