᾿εν δὲ τῷ τρίτῳ τῶν γεωγραφικῶν καθιστάμενος τὸν τῆς οἰκουμένης πίνακα γραμμῇ τινι διαιρεῖ δίχα ἀπὸ δύσεως ἐπ᾽ ἀνατολὴν παραλλήλῳ τῇ ἰσημερινῇ γραμμῇ, πέρατα δ᾽ αὐτῆς τίθησι πρὸς δύσει μὲν τὰς Ἡρακλείους στήλας, ἐπ᾽ ἀνατολῇ δὲ τὰ ἄκρα καὶ ἔσχατα ὄρη τῶν ἀφοριζόντων ὀρῶν τὴν πρὸς ἄρκτον τῆς Ἰνδικῆς πλευράν. γράφει δὲ τὴν γραμμὴν ἀπὸ στηλῶν διά τε τοῦ Σικελικοῦ πορθμοῦ καὶ τῶν μεσημβρινῶν ἄκρων τῆς τε Πελοποννήσου καὶ τῆς Ἀττικῆς μέχρι τῆς Ῥοδίας καὶ τοῦ Ἰσσικοῦ κόλπου. μέχρι μὲν δὴ δεῦρο διὰ τῆς θαλάττης φησὶν εἶναι τὴν λεχθεῖσαν γραμμὴν καὶ τῶν παρακειμένων ἠπείρων （καὶ γὰρ αὐτὴν ὅλην τὴν καθ᾽ ἡμᾶς θάλατταν οὕτως ἐπὶ μῆκος τετάσθαι μέχρι τῆς Κιλικίας）, εἶτα ἐπ᾽ εὐθείας πως ἐκβάλλεσθαι παρ᾽ ὅλην τὴν ὀρεινὴν τοῦ Ταύρου μέχρι τῆς Ἰνδικῆς: τὸν γὰρ Ταῦρον ἐπ᾽ εὐθείας τῇ ἀπὸ στηλῶν θαλάττῃ τεταμένον δίχα τὴν Ἀσίαν διαιρεῖν ὅλην ἐπὶ μῆκος, τὸ μὲν αὐτῆς μέρος βόρειον ποιοῦντα τὸ δὲ νότιον, ὥσθ᾽ ὁμοίως καὶ αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τοῦ δι᾽ Ἀθηνῶν ἱδρῦσθαι παραλλήλου καὶ τὴν ἀπὸ στηλῶν μέχρι δεῦρο θάλατταν.
