533—540. Ἐπὶ ταύταις δέ εἰσιν αἱ Ἰωνίδες νῆσοι, ὅπου ἡ Καῦνος, καὶ ἡ καλὴ καὶ ἐπιθυμητὴ Σάμος, τὸ ἔδαφος τῆς ἐν Πελασγίᾳ τιμωμένης Ἥρας, καὶ ἡ Χίος ὑπὸ τὴν πέζαν τοῦ ὑψηλοῦ Πεληναίου ὄρους. Λέγει δὲ πρὸς τὸ Πεληναῖον ὄρος εἶναι τὴν Χίον, οὐ τὴν νῆσον, ἀλλὰ τὴν πόλιν. Ἐκεῖθεν δὲ τὰ ὄρη τῶν Αἰολίδων νήσων φαίνεται, τῆς τε μεγάλης ἢ πλατεῖαν χώραν ἐχούσης Λέσβου καὶ τῆς ἐπιθυμητῆς Τενέδου. Κἀκεῖθεν περὶ τὴν Τένεδον νῆσον ὁ Μέλας καλούμενος κόλπος τὸν Ἑλλήσποντον ἐπέρχεται τὸν ἀφρὸν ἀποπέμπων, τῷ δὲ κατὰ πολὺ ἐπὶ τὸν βορρᾶν πορευομένῳ τὸ αὔξημα ἢ τὸ φύσημα τῆς Προποντίδος θαλάσσης ἔνθα κἀκεῖσε παρατέταται.
