Διαιρεῖ δὲ τὴν Σικελικὴν θάλασσαν, ἣν καλοῦσι νῦν Ἀδριατικὸν πέλαγος, ἀπὸ τῆς Τυρρηνίας ἀνέμῳ καὶ σχήματι. Λέγει γὰρ ἐπὶ νότον ἔρχεσθαι μᾶλλον τοῦ Τυρρηνικοῦ, κολπουμένην δὲ πρὸς ἑῷα τὴν ἄλλην ἅλα, ἥτις ἄρχεται μὲν ἐκ τόπου τοῦ περὶ Κέρκιναν τὴν νῆσον, διαθέει δὲ εἰς Πάχυνον ἄκρον, ὅπου καὶ λήγει, ὡς ἐπὶ Κρήτης. Πρὸς νότον δέ φησιν, ἐπειδὴ ἀπὸ βορέου εἰς νότον παρατέταται, οὐκ ἀπὸ δύσεως πρὸς ἀνατολήν· ὅθεν πρὸς ἀντιδιαστολὴν τούτου πάλιν φησίν· αὐτὰρ ἔπειτα πρὸς αὐγὰς ἠελίοιο.
