οὐ γάρ πω ἐξεύρηντο αἱ ἀρχαὶ τῆς Κασπίας θαλάσσης, καίτοι ἐθνῶν τε αὐτὴν περιοικούντων οὐκ ὀλίγων καὶ ποταμῶν πλοΐμων ἐμβαλλόντων ἐς αὐτήν· ἐκ Βάκτρων μὲν Ὄξος, μέγιστος τῶν Ἀσιανῶν ποταμῶν, πλήν γε δὴ τῶν Ἰνδῶν, ἐξίησιν ἐς ταύτην τὴν θάλασσαν, διὰ Σκυθῶν δὲ Ἰαξάρτης· καὶ τὸν Ἀράξην δὲ τὸν ἐξ Ἀρμενίων ῥέοντα ἐς ταύτην ἐσβάλλειν ὁ πλείων λόγος κατέχει. μέγιστοι μὲν οὗτοι·
