[19] οἱ δὲ νῦν Χαλδαῖοι Χάλυβες τὸ παλαιὸν ὠνομάζοντο, καθ᾽ οὓς μάλιστα ἡ Φαρνακία ἵδρυται, κατὰ θάλατταν μὲν ἔχουσα εὐφυΐαν τὴν ἐκ τῆς πηλαμυδείας (πρώτιστα γὰρ ἁλίσκεται ἐνταῦθα τὸ ὄψον τοῦτο), ἐκ δὲ τῆς γῆς τὰ μέταλλα νῦν μὲν σιδήρου πρότερον δὲ καὶ ἀργύρου. ὅλως δὲ κατὰ τοὺς τόπους τούτους ἡ παραλία στενὴ τελέως ἐστίν: ὑπέρκειται γὰρ εὐθὺς τὰ ὄρη μετάλλων πλήρη καὶ δρυμῶν, γεωργεῖται δ᾽ οὐ πολλά: λείπεται δὴ τοῖς μὲν μεταλλευταῖς ἐκ τῶν μετάλλων ὁ βίος, τοῖς δὲ θαλαττουργοῖς ἐκ τῆς ἁλιείας καὶ μάλιστα τῶν πηλαμύδων καὶ τῶν δελφίνων: ἐπακολουθοῦντες γὰρ ταῖς ἀγέλαις τῶν ἰχθύων, κορδύλης τε καὶ θύννης καὶ αὐτῆς τῆς πηλαμύδος, πιαίνονταί τε καὶ εὐάλωτοι γίνονται διὰ τὸ πλησιάζειν τῇ γῇ προαλέστερον: δελεαζομένους μόνοι οὗτοι κατακόπτουσι τοὺς δελφῖνας καὶ τῷ στέατι πολλῷ χρῶνται πρὸς ἅπαντα.
