193—200. Ἐπὶ τούτοις ἡ Καρχηδὼν πολύευκτον ἢ εὐχαρῆ ὅρμον περιέχει, ἡ πρότερον μὲν οὖσα τῶν Φοινίκων, νῦν δὲ τῶν Λιβύων, ἣν δὴ μυθεύονται ῥινῷ βοὸς μετρηθῆναι. Ἐφεξῆς δὲ ἡ μικροτέρα Σύρτις τὸν ἄγαν ταχέα ῥεύματα ἔχοντα ὁλκὸν συστρέφει. Μετὰ ταύτην δὲ ἄλλη ἀπλήρωτος ἢ μεγίστη, εὐρυτέραις προχοαῖς καὶ μείζοσιν ἐκβολαῖς ὡς ὑπὸ βάρους τῶν κυ μάτων βαρυνομένη, πρὸς ἀνατολὰς σύρεται.
