῎ιδωμεν δὲ καὶ Ποσειδώνιον ἅ φησιν ἐν τοῖς περὶ ὠκεανοῦ: δοκεῖ γὰρ ἐν αὐτοῖς τὰ πολλὰ γεωγραφεῖν, τὰ μὲν οἰκείως τὰ δὲ μαθηματικώτερον. οὐκ ἄτοπον οὖν ἔνια καὶ τῶν ὑπὸ τούτου λεγομένων διαιτῆσαι, τὰ μὲν νῦν τὰ δ᾽ ἐν τοῖς καθ᾽ ἕκαστα ὡς ἂν ὑποπίπτῃ, μέτρου τινὸς ἐχομένους. ἔστιν οὖν τι τῶν πρὸς γεωγραφίαν οἰκείων τὸ τὴν γῆν ὅλην ὑποθέσθαι σφαιροειδῆ καθάπερ καὶ τὸν κόσμον, καὶ τὰ ἄλλα παραδέξασθαι τὰ ἀκόλουθα τῇ ὑποθέσει ταύτῃ: τούτων δ᾽ ἐστὶ καὶ τὸ πεντάζωνον αὐτὴν εἶναι.
Strabo. ed. A. Meineke, Geographica. Leipzig: Teubner. 1877.
