[18]
ἐκεῖ γάρ, ὥς φασι, ποταμοὶ ῥέουσιν οὐχ ὥσπερ παρ᾽ ὑμῖν ὕδατος,
ἀλλ᾽ ὁ μὲν γάλακτος, ὁ δὲ οἴνου διαυγοῦς, ἄλλος δὲ μέλιτος, ἄλλος
δὲ ἐλαίου. ῥέουσι δ᾽ ἐγγύθεν ἐκ λόφων, ὥσπερ ἐκ μαστῶντῆς γῆς. πάντα δὲ ταῦτα τῶν παρ᾽ ἡμῖν ἄπειρον διαφέρει πρός τε
ἡδονὴν καὶ δύναμιν. τὰ μὲν γὰρ ἐνθάδε γλίσχρως καὶ μόλις ἀπὸ
ζῴων τινῶν καὶ φυτῶν συλλέγομεν, καρποὺς ξύλων βρίζοντες καὶ
τροφὴν ζῴων βδάλλοντες καὶ βλίττοντες, τὰ δὲ ἐκεῖ τῷ παντὶ καθαρώτερα,
χωρὶς οἶμαι βίας καὶ πανουργίας. οἱ δὲ ποταμοὶ ῥέουσινἕνα μῆνα τῷ βασιλεῖ, καὶ φόρος οὗτός ἐστιν αὐτῷ, τὸν δὲ λοιπὸν
χρόνον τοῖς δημόταις.
