[2] εἰς δὴ τὸν Εὔξεινον πόντον εἰσπλέουσιν ἐκ τῆς Προποντίδος ἐν ἀριστερᾷ μὲν τὰ προσεχῆ τῷ Βυζαντίῳ κεῖται: Θρᾳκῶν δ᾽ ἐστί, καλεῖται δὲ τὰ ἀριστερὰ τοῦ Πόντου: ἐν δεξιᾷ δὲ τὰ προσεχῆ Χαλκηδόνι: Βιθυνῶν δ᾽ ἐστὶ τὰ πρῶτα, εἶτα Μαριανδυνῶν （τινὲς δὲ καὶ Καυκώνων φασίν）, εἶτα Παφλαγόνων μέχρι Ἅλυος, εἶτα Καππαδόκων τῶν πρὸς τῷ Πόντῳ καὶ τῶν ἑξῆς μέχρι Κολχίδος: ταῦτα δὲ πάντα καλεῖται τὰ δεξιὰ τοῦ Εὐξείνου πόντου. ταύτης δὲ τῆς παραλίας ἁπάσης ἐπῆρξεν Εὐπάτωρ ἀρξάμενος ἀπὸ τῆς Κολχίδος μέχρι Ἡρακλείας, τὰ δ᾽ ἐπέκεινα τὰ μέχρι τοῦ στόματος καὶ τῆς Χαλκηδόνος τῷ Βιθυνῶν βασιλεῖ συνέμενε. καταλυθέντων δὲ τῶν βασιλέων ἐφύλαξαν οἱ Ῥωμαῖοι τοὺς αὐτοὺς ὅρους, ὥστε τὴν Ἡράκλειαν προσκεῖσθαι τῷ Πόντῳ, τὰ δ᾽ ἐπέκειαν Βιθυνοῖς προσχωρεῖν.
