19—26. Ἄλλοι δὲ πάλιν ταῖς ἠπείροις τὴν γῆν οὕτω διαχωρίζουσιν. Ἰσθμὸς ἄνω τετάνυσται ὑπέρτατος τῆς Ἀσιάδος γαίης, ἀναμεταξὺ τῆς Κασπίας θαλάσσης καὶ τοῦ Εὐξείνου πελάγους ἰσθμὸς δὲ λέγεται στενὴ γῆ μεταξὺ δύο θαλασσῶν· ἐκεῖνον δὲ τὸν ἰσθμὸν τῆς Ἀσίας καὶ τῆς Εὐρώπης ὅρον εἶπον. Ἄλλος δὲ πάλιν ἰσθμὸς μακρὸς καὶ μέγας ἐπὶ τὸν νότον σύρεται ἐπὶ τοῦ Ἀραβικοῦ κόλπου καὶ μεταξὺ τῆς Αἰγύπτου, ὅστις δὴ ἀπὸ τῆς Ἀσιάτιδος γῆς τὴν Λιβύηνχωρίζει. Τοιαῦτα μὲν οἱ ἄνθρωποι περὶ τῶν ὅρων τῆς γῆς διετάξαντο.
