[6] καθ᾽ ὅλην δὲ τὴν τῆς Ἐρυθρᾶς παραλίαν κατὰ [p. 1070] βυθοῦ φύεται δένδρα ὅμοια δάφνῃ καὶ ἐλαίᾳ, ταῖς μὲν ἀμπώτεσιν ὅλα ὑπερφανῆ γινόμενα, ταῖς δὲ πλημμυρίσιν ἔσθ᾽ ὅτε ὅλα καλυπτόμενα, καὶ ταῦτα τῆς ὑπερκειμένης γῆς ἀδένδρου οὔσης, ὥστε ἐπιτείνεσθαι τὸ παράδοξον. περὶ μὲν οὖν τῆς κατὰ Πέρσας θαλάττης, ἣν ἑῴαν πλευρὰν ἔφαμεν εἶναι τῆς εὐδαίμονος Ἀραβίας, τοιαῦτα εἴρηκεν Ἐρατοσθένης.
