Δεύτερος αὖτ᾿ ὀλίγος μέν] Κατὰ σύγκρισιν τοῦ ἀπὸ Γαδείρων μικρότερος εἴρηται· μείζων δὲ ὡς πρὸς τὸν Περσικὸν καὶ Ἀράβιον κόλπον ἐστὶν ὁ Ὑρκάνιος, ἐκ τοῦ Κρονίου ὠκεανοῦ πληρούμενος. Ἴσως δι᾿ ἀδήλων τόπων ἡ Κασπία ἐπὶ τὰ βόρεια (τὸ βορειότατον H, τὸ βορειότερον Q) ὀφείλει τετάχθαι περὶ Σκυθίαν, ὡς καὶ Ἀπολλώνιος (3, 859) περὶ Μηδείας· “ Κασπίῃ ἐνὶ κόχλῳ μήσατο. ” Πτολεμαῖος δὲ δίκην νήσου περιέχεσθαι αὐτὴν τῇ γῇ φησι. Ἀτὰρ προφερέστατος] Ἐπ᾿ ὀλίγον μὲν συρόμενος, ὕμως ἐστὶ κρείττων τῶν ἄλλων· λέγει δὲ κατὰ τὸ σφοδρὸν τοῦ ῥεύματος, ὡς καὶ ἐν τῷ περὶ αὐτοῦ λόγῳ φησί (v. 721)· “ τόσσος γὰρ πόρος ἐστὶν ἀμείλιχος.”
