[12] ᾿αλλὰ μὴν ὅτι γε δεῖ πρὸς ταῦτα πολυμαθείας, εἰρήκασι συχνοί. εὖ δὲ καὶ Ἵππαρχος ἐν τοῖς πρὸς Ἐρατοσθένην διδάσκει, ὅτι παντὶ καὶ ἰδιώτῃ καὶ τῷ φιλομαθοῦντι τῆς γεωγραφικῆς ἱστορίας προσηκούσης, ἀδύνατον αὐτὴν λαβεῖν ἄνευ τῆς τῶν οὐρανίων καὶ τῆς τῶν ἐκλειπτικῶν τηρήσεων ἐπικρίσεως: οἷον Ἀλεξάνδρειαν τὴν πρὸς Αἰγύπτῳ, πότερον ἀρκτικωτέρα Βαβυλῶνος ἢ νοτιωτέρα, λαβεῖν οὐχ οἷόν τε, οὐδ᾽ ἐφ᾽ ὁπόσον διάστημα, χωρὶς τῆς διὰ τῶν κλιμάτων ἐπισκέψεως. ὁμοίως τὰς πρὸς ἕω παρακεχωρηκυίας ἢ πρὸς δύσιν μᾶλλον καὶ ἧττον οὐκ ἂν γνοίη τις ἀκριβῶς πλὴν εἰ διὰ τῶν ἐκλειπτικῶν ἡλίου καὶ σελήνης συγκρίσεων.
