887—893. Ἔστω μὲν οὖν τὸ λοιπὸν τῆς Ἀσίας σχῆμα τετράπλευρον καὶ ἰσοσκελὲς, τοῖς μακροῖς καὶ ἐπιμήκεσι πεδίοις ἡπλωμένον καὶ ἐκτεταμένον πρὸς ἀνατολήν. Ἐπὶ γὰρ τοῖς προλεχθεῖσι παῤ ἐμοῦ εἰπόντος ἀκούσας ἐπίστασαι Ταῦρον τὸ ὄρος πᾶσαν τὴν Ἀσίαν διαχωρίζειν ἢ μέσην διατέμνειν μέχρι τῶν Ἰνδῶν. Καὶ τοῦτο μὲν τὸ ὄρος ἐν τῷ τετραπλεύρῳ τὸ βορειότερον ἔστω· ὁ δὲ Νεῖλος ποταμὸς τὸ ἑσπέριον ἢ δυτικώτερον πλεῦρον ὑπαρχέτω· τὸ δὲ ἑῷον, ἤτοι τὸ ἀνατολικώτερον, ὁ Ἰνδικὸς ὠκεανός· τὸ δὲ νότιον ἡ Ἐρυθρὰ θάλασσα ἢ τὸ κῦμα τῆς Ἐρυθρᾶς θαλάσσης.
