Πορθμίδος] τῆς θαλάσσης νοεῖ· ἡ γὰρ Λευκὴ πέτρα ἄνωθέν ἐστι τοῦ Σικελικοῦ πελάγους. Πορθμὸν γὰρ ποιεῖται ἡ Βρεττία καὶ ἡ Σικελία. Πορθμὸς δέ ἐστι θάλασσα στενὴ, ἑκατέρωθεν γῆν ἔχουσα· ἰσθμὸς δὲ γῆ στενὴ, ἑκατέρωθεν θαλαττευομένη. Πορθμίδα οὖν εἶπε τὴν μέσην θάλασσαν Ἰταλίας καὶ Σικελίας· οὕτω γοῦν καὶ Ῥήγιον κέκληται, ἐπεὶ ὕστερον διέστησαν, πρώην οὖσαι καθʼ ἕνωσιν.
