[17] ῎εστι δὲ καὶ Ἀρτεμίτα πόλις ἀξιόλογος, διέχουσα πεντακοσίους τῆς Σελευκείας σταδίους, πρὸς ἕω τὸ πλέον, καθάπερ καὶ ἡ Σιτακηνή: καὶ γὰρ αὕτη πολλή τε καὶ ἀγαθὴ μέση Βαβυλῶνος τέτακται καὶ τῆς Σουσίδος, ὥστε τοῖς ἐκ Βαβυλῶνος εἰς Σοῦσα βαδίζουσι διὰ τῆς Σιτακηνῆς ἡ ὁδὸς ἅπασα πρὸς ἕω: πρὸς ἕω δ᾽ ἐστὶ καὶ τοῖς ἐκ Σούσων εἰς τὴν μεσόγαιαν τῆς Περσίδος διὰ τῆς Οὐξίας καὶ τοῖς ἐκ τῆς Περσίδος εἰς τὰ μέσα τῆς Καρμανίας. τὴν μὲν οὖν Καρμανίαν ἐγκυκλοῦται πρὸς ἑσπέραν καὶ ἄρκτον ἡ Περσὶς πολλὴ οὖσα: ταύτῃ δὲ συνάπτει ἡ Παραιτακηνὴ καὶ ἡ Κοσσαία μέχρι Κασπίων πυλῶν, ὀρεινὰ καὶ λῃστρικὰ ἔθνη: τῇ δὲ Σουσίδι ἡ Ἐλυμαῒς καὶ αὐτὴ τραχεῖα ἡ πολλὴ καὶ λῃστρική: τῇ δὲ Ἐλυμαΐδι τὰ περὶ τὸν Ζάγρον καὶ ἡ Μηδία.
