[3] ἄλλην δὲ πίστιν φέρει τοιαύτην, ὅτι τὸ ἀπὸ τοῦ Ἰσσικοῦ κόλπου διάστημα ἐπὶ τὴν θάλατταν τὴν Ποντικὴν τρισχιλίων πώς ἐστι σταδίων πρὸς ἄρκτον ἰόντι καὶ τοὺς περὶ Ἀμισὸν ἢ Σινώπην τόπους, ὅσον καὶ τὸ πλάτος τῶν ὀρῶν λέγεται: ἐκ δὲ Ἀμισοῦ πρὸς τὴν ἰσημερινὴν ἀνατολὴν φερομένῳ πρῶτον μὲν ἡ Κολχίς ἐστιν, ἔπειτα ἡ ἐπὶ τὴν Ὑρκανίαν θάλατταν ὑπέρθεσις καὶ ἡ ἐφεξῆς ἡ ἐπὶ Βάκτρα καὶ τοὺς ἐπέκεινα Σκύθας ὁδὸς δεξιὰ ἔχοντι τὰ ὄρη: αὕτη δ᾽ ἡ γραμμὴ διὰ Ἀμισοῦ πρὸς δύσιν ἐκβαλλομένη διὰ τῆς Προποντίδος ἐστὶ καὶ τοῦ Ἑλλησπόντου. ἀπὸ δὲ Μερόης ἐπὶ τὸν Ἑλλήσποντον οὐ πλείους εἰσὶ τῶν μυρίων καὶ ὀκτακισχιλίων σταδίων, ὅσοι καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ μεσημβρινοῦ πλευροῦ τῆς Ἰνδικῆς πρὸς τὰ περὶ τοὺς Βακτρίους μέρη, προστεθέντων τρισχιλίων τοῖς μυρίοις καὶ πεντακισχιλίοις, ὧν οἱ μὲν τοῦ πλάτους ἦσαν τῶν ὀρῶν οἱ δὲ τῆς Ἰνδικῆς.
