[5] καθ᾽ ἡμᾶς μὲν τοίνυν προσάρκτια ἂν εἴη τὰ ἔθνη ταῦτα, ἐπειδὴ καὶ ἐντὸς τοῦ Ταύρου, Ἐρατοσθένης δὲ πεποιημένος τὴν διαίρεσιν εἰς τὰ νότια μέρη καὶ τὰ προσάρκτια καὶ τὰς ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ λεγομένας σφραγῖδας, τὰς μὲν βορείους καλῶν τὰς δὲ νοτίους, ὅρια ἀποφαίνει τῶν κλιμάτων ἀμφοῖν τὰς Κασπίους πύλας: εἰκότως οὖν τὰ νοτιώτερα1 τῶν Κασπίων πυλῶν νότια ἂν ἀποφαίνοι, ὧν ἐστι καὶ ἡ Μηδία καὶ ἡ Ἀρμενία, τὰ δὲ βορειότερα πρόσβορρα, κατ᾽ ἄλλην καὶ ἄλλην διάταξιν τούτου συμβαίνοντος. τάχα δὲ οὐκ ἐπέβαλε τούτῳ, διότι ἔξω τοῦ Ταύρου πρὸς νότον οὐδέν ἐστιν οὔτε τῆς Ἀρμενίας μέρος οὔτε τῆς Μηδίας.
