<p>From Perinthus to Byzantium it is 630 stadia; from

the Hebrus and Cypseli to Byzantium and the Cyanean rocks

it is, according to Artemidorus, 3100 stadia. The whole distance from Apollonia on the Ionian Gulf to Byzantium is

7320 stadia; Polybius makes this distance 180 stadia more,

by the addition of a third of a stadium to the sum of 8 stadia,

which compose a mile. Demetrius of Skepsis, in his account

of the disposition of the Trojan forces, says that it is 700

stadia from Perinthus to Byzantium, and the same distance

to Parium. He makes the length of the Propontis to be <date value="1400" authname="1400">1400</date>

and the breadth 500 stadia; the narrowest part also of the

Hellespont to be 7 stadia, and the length 400. E.
