[6] εἶθ᾽ ὁ Ξάνθος ποταμός, ὃν Σίρβιν ἐκάλουν τὸ πρότερον: ἀναπλεύσαντι δ᾽ ὑπηρετικοῖς δέκα σταδίους τὸ Λητῷον ἔστιν: ὑπὲρ δὲ τοῦ ἱεροῦ προελθόντι ἑξήκοντα ἡ πόλις ἡ τῶν Ξανθίων ἐστὶ μεγίστη τῶν ἐν Λυκίᾳ. μετὰ δὲ τὴν Ξάνθον Πάταρα, καὶ αὕτη μεγάλη [p. 929] πόλις λιμένα ἔχουσα καὶ ἱερὰ Ἀπόλλωνος, κτίσμα Πατάρου. Πτολεμαῖος δ᾽ ὁ φιλάδελφος ἐπισκευάσας Ἀρσινόην ἐκάλεσε τὴν ἐν Λυκίᾳ, ἐπεκράτησε δὲ τὸ ἐξ ἀρχῆς ὄνομα.
