[22] ᾿επὶ μῆκος δὲ συχνὸν προπέπτωκεν ἡ συναγωγὴ τῆς Μεσοποταμίας καὶ πλοίῳ πως ἔοικε: ποιεῖ δὲ τὸ πλεῖστον τῆς περιφερείας ὁ Εὐφράτης: καὶ ἔστι τὸ μὲν ἀπὸ τῆς Θαψάκου μέχρι Βαβυλῶνος, ὡς εἴρηκεν Ἐρατοσθένης, τετρακισχίλιοι καὶ ὀκτακόσιοι στάδιοι: τὸ δ᾽ ἀπὸ τοῦ κατὰ Κομμαγηνὴν ζεύγματος, ἥπερ ἐστὶν ἀρχὴ τῆς Μεσοποταμίας, οὐκ ἔλαττον τῶν δισχιλίων σταδίων ἕως ἐπὶ Θάψακον.
