106. Τῶν δʼ ἀνέμων ζέφυροι μὲν καὶ λίβες ἔτι δʼ ἀργέσται καὶ εὖροι πνέουσι καθάπερ καὶ παρὰ τοῖς ἄλλοις· νότοι δὲ κατὰ μὲν Αἰθιοπίαν οὔτε πνέουσιν οὔτε γνωρίζονται τὸ σύνολον, κατὰ δὲ τὴν Τρωγλοδυτικὴν καὶ τὴν Ἀραβίαν θερμοὶ γίνονται καθʼ ὑπερβολὴν, ὥστε καὶ τὰς ὕλας ἐκπυροῦν καὶ τῶν καταφευγόντων εἰς τὰς ἐν ταῖς καλύβαις-σκιὰς ἐκλύειν τὰ σώματα. Ὁ δὲ βορέας δικαίως ἂν ἄριστος νομίζοιτο, διικνούμενος εἰς ἅπαντα τόπον τῆς οἰκουμένης καὶ διαμένων ψυχρός.
