923—932. Ταύτης δὲ τῆς Συρίας, οὐ τῆς Ἀντιοχείας, ἐπὶ τὸ πρόσω τοῦ νότου ὁδεύων τὸν ἐνδότατον πόρον ἢ μυχὸν τοῦ Ἀραβίου κόλπου θεάσῃ, ὅστις ἀναμεταξὺ τῆς Συρίας καὶ τῆς ἐπεράστου καὶ καλῆς Ἀραβίας συστρέφεται, ὀλίγον ἢ μικρὸν πρὸς ἀνατολὴν ἄχρι τῶν Ἐλανῶν. Ἐκεῖθεν δὲ ἀπὸ τῶν Ἐλανῶν πρὸς ἀνατολὰς ἡ τῶν εὐδαιμόνων λεγομένων Ἀράβων γῆ ἐπίκειται καταπολὺ ἀνερχομένη, διπλῇ θαλάσσῃ κατεχομένη, τῇ τε Περσίδι καὶ τῇ Ἀραβίᾳ, ἤγουν τῷ τε Περσικῷ καὶ Ἀραβικῷ κόλπῳ. Ἑκάστη δὲ αὐτῶν ἄνεμον ἔλαχεν, ἡ μὲν Ἀραβία θάλασσα τὸν ζέφυρον, ἡ δὲ Περσὶς τὰς ὁδοὺς ἢ τὸ κλίμα τοῦ εὔρου. Ἡ δὲ πέζα, ἤτοι τὸ τέλος καὶ ἡ βάσις αὐτῆς, νοτιωτέρα ἐπὶ τὴν ἀνατολὴν τετραμμένη ὑπὸ τῶν Ἐρυθραίων κυμάτων τοῦ ὠκεανοῦ κλύζεται, τουτέστιν ὑπὸ τῆς Ἐρυθρᾶς θαλάσσης.
