[8] τοιαύτη μέν τις ἡ χώρα: τὸ δὲ μέγεθος πάρισός πώς ἐστιν εἰς πλάτος καὶ μῆκος: δοκεῖ δὲ μέγιστον εἶναι μῆκος τῆς Μηδίας τὸ ἀπὸ τῆς τοῦ Ζάγρου ὑπερθέσεως, ἥπερ καλεῖται Μηδικὴ πύλη, εἰς Κασπίους πύλας διὰ τῆς Σιγριανῆς σταδίων τετρακισχιλίων ἑκατόν. τῷ δὲ μεγέθει καὶ τῇ δυνάμει τῆς χώρας ὁμολογεῖ καὶ ἡ περὶ τῶν φόρων ἱστορία: τῆς γὰρ Καππαδοκίας παρεχούσης τοῖς Πέρσαις κατ᾽ ἐνιαυτὸν πρὸς τῷ ἀργυρικῷ τέλει ἵππους χιλίους καὶ πεντακοσίους, ἡμιόνους δὲ δισχιλίους, προβάτων δὲ πέντε μυριάδας, διπλάσια σχεδόν τι τούτων ἐτέλουν οἱ Μῆδοι.
