Δείξας τῆς Λιβύης τοὺς ὅρους ἔνεισιν ἐπὶ τὰς ἄλλας, ἀποδιαιρῶν τὴν Ἀσίαν τῆς Εὐρώπης. Καὶ τούτου αἴτιόν φησι τὸν Τάναῖν, ὃς παρὰ τοῖς ἐνοικοῦσι Σίλις λέγεται. Εἴρηται δὲ Τάναῖς διὰ τὸ τεταμένως ῥεῖν. Ἀρτεμίδωρος δέ φησι τὰ δύο στόματα τοῦ Τανάϊδος διέχειν ἑαυτῶν στάδια ἑπτά. Τὸ μὲν γὰρ αὐτοῦ εἰς Μαιώτιδα λίμνην ἐκρεῖ, τὸ δὲ εἰς Σκυθίαν.
