ἡμεῖς δ᾽ ἀρκούντως εἰρηκότες περὶ τῆς Σαρδόνος διέξιμεν περὶ τῶν ἑξῆς κειμένων νήσων. μετὰ γὰρ τὰς προειρημένας νῆσός ἐστιν ὀνομαζομένη μὲν Πιτυοῦσσα, τὴν δὲ προσηγορίαν ἔχουσα ἀπὸ τοῦ πλήθους τῶν κατ᾽ αὐτὴν φυομένων πιτύων. πελαγία δ᾽ οὖσα διέστηκεν ἀπὸ μὲν Ἡρακλέους στηλῶν [p. 25] πλοῦν ἡμερῶν τριῶν καὶ τῶν ἴσων νυκτῶν, ἀπὸ δὲ Λιβύης ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτός, ἀπὸ δ᾽ Ἰβηρίας μιᾶς ἡμέρας: κατὰ δὲ τὸ μέγεθος παραπλήσιός ἐστι Κορκύρᾳ. [2] κατὰ δὲ τὴν ἀρετὴν οὖσα μετρία τὴν μὲν ἀμπελόφυτον χώραν ὀλίγην ἔχει, τὰς δ᾽ ἐλαίας ἐμπεφυτευμένας ἐν τοῖς κοτίνοις. τῶν δὲ φυομένων ἐν αὐτῇ καλλιστεύειν φασὶ τὴν μαλακότητα τῶν ἐρίων. διειλημμένη δὲ πεδίοις ἀξιολόγοις καὶ γεωλόφοις πόλιν ἔχει τὴν ὀνομαζομένην Ἔρεσον, ἄποικον Καρχηδονίων. [3] ἔχει δὲ καὶ λιμένας ἀξιολόγους καὶ τειχῶν κατασκευὰς εὐμεγέθεις καὶ οἰκιῶν πλῆθος εὖ κατασκευασμένων. κατοικοῦσι δ᾽ αὐτὴν βάρβαροι παντοδαποί, πλεῖστοι δὲ Φοίνικες. ὁ δ᾽ ἀποικισμὸς αὐτῆς γέγονεν ὕστερον ἔτεσιν ἑκατὸν ἑξήκοντα τῆς κατὰ τὴν Καρχηδόνα κτίσεως.
