[8] ἔστι τοίνυν ὄρη δύο ὑπερκείμενα τῆς Προποντίδος ὅ τε Ὄλυμπος ὁ Μύσιος καὶ ἡ Ἴδη. τῷ μὲν οὖν Ὀλύμπῳ τὰ τῶν Βιθυνῶν ὑποπέπτωκε, τῆς δὲ Ἴδης μεταξὺ καὶ τῆς θαλάττης ἡ Τροία κεῖται συνάπτουσα τῷ ὄρει: περὶ μὲν οὖν ταύτης ἐροῦμεν ὕστερον καὶ τῶν συνεχῶν αὐτῇ πρὸς νότον, νῦν δὲ περὶ τῶν Ὀλυμπηνῶν καὶ τῶν ἐφεξῆς μέχρι τοῦ Ταύρου παραλλήλων τοῖς προεφωδευμένοις λέγωμεν. ἔστι τοίνυν ὁ Ὄλυμπος κύκλῳ μὲν εὖ συνοικούμενος, ἐν δὲ τοῖς ὕψεσι δρυμοὺς ἐξαισίους ἔχων καὶ λῃστήρια δυναμένους ἐκτρέφειν τόπους εὐερκεῖς, ἐν οἷς καὶ τύραννοι συνίστανται πολλάκις δυνάμενοι συμμεῖναι πολὺν χρόνον, καθάπερ Κλέων ὁ καθ᾽ ἡμᾶς τῶν λῃστηρίων ἡγεμών.
