513—516. Θαυμαστὸς δέ τις πόρος ἐστὶν ὁ τοῦ Αἰγαίου πελάγους ὁ βαθὺς, ὁ περιέχων ἐντὸς αὐτοῦ ἐξ ἑκατέρων τῶν μερῶν ἄπειρον πλῆθος νήσων στιχηδὸν ἢ κατὰ τάξιν κειμένων, ἐπὶ τὸ στενὸν ὕδωρ τοῦ Ἑλλησπόντου, ἤγουν ἐπὶ τοσοῦτον, ἐφ᾿ ὅσον ἐστὶν ὁ στενὸς αὐλὸς τῆς θαλάσσης ὁ ἀπὸ τῆς Τενέδου ἕως τῆς Προικοννήσου, τῆς Ἕλλης τῆς Ἀθάμαντος θυγατρὸς ἐπώνυμος· ὅπου ἥ τε Σηστὸς καὶ ἡ Ἄβυδος ἐξ ἐναντίας ἀλλήλων τὸν λιμένα ἢ τὸν ὅρμον ἔχουσαι κεῖνται, ἡ μὲν Σηστὸς τῆς Εὐρώπης, ἡ δὲ Ἄβυδος τῆς Ἀσίας.
