[15] περίπλους δ᾽ ἐστὶ τῆς Σαμίων νήσου σταδίων ἑξακοσίων. ἐκαλεῖτο δὲ Παρθενία πρότερον οἰκούντων Καρῶν, εἶτα Ἀνθεμοῦς, εἶτα Μελάμφυλλος, εἶτα Σάμος, εἴτ᾽ ἀπό τινος ἐπιχωρίου ἥρωος εἴτ᾽ ἐξ Ἰθάκης καὶ Κεφαλληνίας ἀποικήσαντος. καλεῖται μὲν οὖν καὶ ἄκρα τις Ἄμπελος βλέπουσά πως πρὸς τὸ τῆς Ἰκαρίας Δρέπανον, ἀλλὰ καὶ τὸ ὄρος ἅπαν ὃ ποιεῖ τὴν ὅλην νῆσον ὀρεινὴν ὁμωνύμως λέγεται: ἔστι δ᾽ οὐκ εὔοινος, καίπερ εὐοινουσῶν τῶν κύκλῳ νήσων, καὶ τῆς ἠπείρου σχεδόν τι τῆς προσεχοῦς πάσης τοὺς ἀρίστους ἐκφερούσης οἴνους1: [p. 890] οἷον Χίου καὶ Λέσβου καὶ Κῶ: καὶ μὴν καὶ ὁ Ἐφέσιος καὶ Μητροπολίτης ἀγαθοί, ἥ τε Μεσωγὶς καὶ ὁ Τμῶλος καὶ ἡ Κατακεκαυμένη καὶ Κνίδος καὶ Σμύρνα καὶ ἄλλοι ἀσημότεροι τόποι διαφόρως χρηστοινοῦσιν ἢ πρὸς ἀπόλαυσιν ἢ πρὸς διαίτας ἰατρικάς. περὶ μὲν οὖν οἴνους οὐ πάνυ εὐτυχεῖ Σάμος, τὰ δ᾽ ἄλλα εὐδαίμων, ὡς δῆλον ἔκ τε τοῦ περιμάχητον γενέσθαι καὶ ἐκ τοῦ τοὺς ἐπαινοῦντας μὴ ὀκνεῖν ἐφαρμόττειν αὐτῇ τὴν λέγουσαν παροιμίαν ὅτι φέρει καὶ ὀρνίθων γάλα2. τοῦτο δὲ καὶ τῶν τυραννίδων αἴτιον αὐτῇ κατέστη καὶ τῆς πρὸς Ἀθηναίους ἔχθρας.
