[4] τί δὲ δεῖ τῶν ποιητῶν θαυμάζειν, καὶ μάλιστα τῶν τοιούτων οἷς ἡ πᾶσα περὶ τὴν φράσιν ἐστὶ σπουδή, τὰ τοῦ Δαμάστου συγκρίνοντας, ὅστις τῆς νήσου τὸ μῆκος ἀπὸ τῶν ἄρκτων πρὸς μεσημβρίαν ἀποδίδωσιν, ἀπὸ Ἱεροκηπίας, ὥς φησιν, εἰς Κλεῖδας; οὐδὲ ὁ Ἐρατοσθένης εὖ: αἰτιώμενος γὰρ τοῦτον οὐκ ἀπ᾽ ἄρκτων φησὶν εἶναι τὴν Ἱεροκηπίαν, ἀλλ᾽ ἀπὸ νότου: οὐδὲ γὰρ ἀπὸ νότου, ἀλλ᾽ ἀπὸ δύσεως, εἴπερ ἐν τῇ δυσμικῇ πλευρᾷ κεῖται, ἐν ᾗ καὶ ἡ Πάφος καὶ ὁ Ἀκάμας.
Strabo. ed. A. Meineke, Geographica. Leipzig: Teubner. 1877.
