[20] μεταξὺ δὲ τοῦ Ἀνίγρου καὶ τοῦ ὄρους, ἐξ οὗ ῥεῖ, ὁ τοῦ Ἰαρδάνου λειμὼν δείκνυται καὶ τάφος: καὶ Ἀχαιαὶ εἰσὶ δὲ πέτραι ἀπότομοι τοῦ αὐτοῦ ὄρους, ὑπὲρ ὧν ἡ Σάμος, ὡς ἔφαμεν, γέγονε πόλις: οὐ πάνυ δὲ ὑπὸ τῶν τοὺς περίπλους γραψάντων ἡ Σάμος μνημονεύεται, τάχα μέν γε διὰ τὸ πάλαι κατεσπάσθαι, τάχα δὲ καὶ διὰ τὴν θέσιν. τὸ μὲν γὰρ ποσείδιον ἔστιν ἄλσος, ὡς εἴρηται, πρὸς τῇ θαλάττῃ: ὑπέρκειται δ᾽ αὐτοῦ λόφος ὑψηλὸς ἐπίπροσθεν ὢν τοῦ νῦν Σαμικοῦ ἐφ᾽ οὗ ἦν ἡ Σάμος, ὥστ᾽ ἐκ θαλάττης μὴ ὁρᾶσθαι. καὶ πεδίον δ᾽ αὐτόθι καλεῖται Σαμικόν: ἐξ οὗ πλέον ἄν τις τεκμαίροιτο ὑπάρξαι ποτὲ πόλιν τὴν Σάμον. καὶ ἡ Ῥαδίνη δὲ1 ἣν Στησίχορος ποιῆσαι δοκεῖ (ἧς ἀρχή “ ἄγε Μοῦσα λίγει᾽, ἄρξον ἀοιδᾶς, Ἐρατώ, νόμους
