ἔστι τοίνυν ἡ Πελοπόννησος ἐοικυῖα φύλλῳ πλατάνου τὸ σχῆμα, ἴση σχεδόν τι κατὰ μῆκος καὶ κατὰ πλάτος ὅσον χιλίων καὶ τετρακοσίων σταδίων, τὸ μὲν ἀπὸ τῆς ἑσπέρας ἐπὶ τὴν ἕω, τοῦτο δ᾽ ἐστὶ τὸ ἀπὸ τοῦ Χελωνάτα δι᾽ Ὀλυμπίας καὶ τῆς Μεγαλοπολίτιδος ἐπὶ Ἰσθμόν: τὸ δ᾽ ἀπὸ τοῦ νότου πρὸς τὴν ἄρκτον, ὅ ἐστι [p. 477] τὸ ἀπὸ Μαλεῶν δι᾽ Ἀρκαδίας εἰς Αἴγιον: ἡ δὲ περίμετρος μὴ κατακολπίζοντι τετρακισχιλίων σταδίων, ὡς Πολύβιος: Ἀρτεμίδωρος δὲ καὶ τετρακοσίους προστίθησι: κατακολπίζοντι δὲ πλείους τῶν ἑξακοσίων ἐπὶ τοῖς πεντακισχιλίοις. ὁ δ᾽ Ἰσθμὸς κατὰ τὸν δίολκον, δι᾽ οὗ τὰ πορθμεῖα ὑπερνεωλκοῦσιν ἀπὸ τῆς ἑτέρας εἰς τὴν ἑτέραν θάλατταν, εἴρηται ὅτι τετταράκοντα σταδίων ἐστίν.
