ὁ δὲ Εὐφράτης μετέωρός τε ῥεῖ καὶ ἰσοχείλης πανταχῇ τῇ γῇ, καὶ διώρυχες δὲ πολλαὶ ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ πεποίηνται, αἱ μὲν ἀέναοι, ἀφʼ ὧν ὑδρεύονται οἱ παρʼ ἑκάτερα ᾠκισμένοι, τὰς δὲ καὶ πρὸς καιρὸν ποιοῦνται, ὁπότε σφίσιν ὕδατος ἐνδεῶς ἔχοι, ἐς τὸ ἐπάρδειν τὴν χώραν· οὐ γὰρ ὕεται τὸ πολὺ ἡ γῆ αὕτη ἐξ οὐρανοῦ· καὶ οὕτως ἐς οὐ πολὺ ὕδωρ ὁ Εὐφράτης τελευτῶν καὶ τεναγῶδες [ἐς] τοῦτο οὕτως ἀποπαύεται.
