H.'s account of the geography of Scythia. In the middle of this is a digression on general geography (37-45). The first part (17-27) contains the ethnography; H. (16-20) gives the tribes from west to east, in each case adding the tribes inland as far as known; cf. the refrain ὅσον ἡμεῖς ἴδμεν at end of cc. 17, 18, 20. He then goes (21-2) from south to north. For the whole subject cf. App. XI, and cc. 102-17 nn., which should be read with cc. 17-27.
