1107—1113. Πρὸς ἀνατολὰς ὃ ἡ τῶν Ἰνδῶν ἐπέραστος γῆ ἐκτείνεται πασῶν ἐσχάτη περὶ τὰ χείλη, ἤτοι τὸν αἰγιαλὸν, τοῦ ὠκεανοῦ, καθ᾿ ἣν ὁ ἥλιος ἐπὶ τὰ τῶν θεῶν καὶ ἀνθρώπων ἔργα ἀνερχόμενος, τουτέστιν ἀνατέλλων, πρώταις ἀκτῖσιν ἐπιλάμπει. Διὰ τοῦτο οἱ τὴν χώραν ἐκείνην κατοικοῦντες τὰ σώματα μελαίνονται, λίαν πιαινόμενοι, εὐτραφεῖς δὲ τρίχας ὁμοίας τῷ ὑακίνθῳ ἐπὶ ταῖς κεφαλαῖς αὐτῶν φέρουσι.
