[9] εἶτα Λαοδίκεια, ἐπὶ τῇ θαλάττῃ κάλλιστα ἐκτισμένη καὶ εὐλίμενος πόλις χώραν τε ἔχουσα πολύοινον πρὸς τῇ ἄλλῃ εὐκαρπίᾳ. τοῖς μὲν οὖν Ἀλεξανδρεῦσιν αὕτη παρέχει τὸ πλεῖστον τοῦ οἴνου, τὸ ὑπερκείμενον τῆς πόλεως ὄρος πᾶν κατάμπελον ἔχουσα μέχρι σχεδόν τι τῶν κορυφῶν: αἱ δὲ κορυφαὶ τῆς μὲν Λαοδικείας πολὺ ἄπωθέν εἰσιν, ἠρέμα ἀπ᾽ αὐτῆς καὶ κατ᾽ ὀλίγον ἀνακλινόμεναι, τῆς Ἀπαμείας δ᾽ ὑπερκύπτουσιν ἐπ᾽ ὄρθιον ὕψος ἀνατεταμέναι. ἐλύπησε δ᾽ οὐ μετρίως Δολαβέλλας καταφυγὼν εἰς αὐτὴν καὶ ἐμπολιορκηθεὶς ὑπὸ Κασσίου μέχρι θανάτου, συνδιαφθείρας ἑαυτῷ καὶ τῆς πόλεως πολλὰ μέρη.
Strabo. ed. A. Meineke, Geographica. Leipzig: Teubner. 1877.
