[18] μετὰ δὲ τὸν Μάκραν ἐστὶν ὁ Μασσύας ἔχων τινὰ καὶ ὀρεινά, ἐν οἷς ἡ Χαλκὶς ὥσπερ ἀκρόπολις τοῦ Μασσύου: ἀρχὴ δ᾽ αὐτοῦ Λαοδίκεια ἡ πρὸς Λιβάνῳ. τὰ μὲν οὖν ὀρεινὰ ἔχουσι πάντα Ἰτουραῖοί τε καὶ Ἄραβες, κακοῦργοι πάντες, οἱ δ᾽ ἐν τοῖς πεδίοις γεωργοί: κακούμενοι δ᾽ ὑπ᾽ ἐκείνων ἄλλοτε ἄλλης βοηθείας δέονται. ὁρμητηρίοις δ᾽ ἐρυμνοῖς χρῶνται, καθάπερ οἱ τὸν Λίβανον ἔχοντες ἄνω μὲν ἐν τῷ ὄρει Σιννᾶν καὶ Βορραμὰ καὶ ἄλλα τοιαῦτα ἔχουσι τείχη, κάτω δὲ Βότρυν καὶ Γίγαρτον καὶ τὰ ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάττης σπήλαια καὶ τὸ ἐπὶ τῷ Θεοῦ προσώπῳ φρούριον ἐπιτεθέν, ἃ κατέσπασε Πομπήιος, ἀφ᾽ ὧν τήν τε Βύβλον κατέτρεχον καὶ τὴν ἐφεξῆς ταύτῃ Βηρυτόν, αἳ μεταξὺ κεῖνται Σιδῶνος καὶ [p. 1054] τοῦ Θεοῦ προσώπου. ἡ μὲν οὖν Βύβλος, τὸ τοῦ Κινύρου βασίλειον, ἱερά ἐστι τοῦ Ἀδώνιδος, ἣν τυραννουμένην ἠλευθέρωσε Πομπήιος πελεκίσας ἐκεῖνον: κεῖται δ᾽ ἐφ᾽ ὕψους τινὸς μικρὸν ἄπωθεν τῆς θαλάττης.
