τό τε γὰρ χωρίον ἀπόρρυτον ἑκατέρωθεν, φάραγξ βαθεῖα καὶ σύσκιος, καὶ διὰ μέσου ποταμὸς οὐ τραχύς, ἀλλʼ ὡς ῥᾷστος ἐμβῆναι καὶ βουσὶ καὶ μόσχοις, τὸ δὲ ὕδωρ πολὺκαὶ καθαρόν, ἅτε τῆς πηγῆς ἐγγὺς ἀναδιδούσης, καὶ πνεῦμα τοῦ θέρους ἀεὶ διαπνέον διὰ τῆς φάραγγος· οἵ τε περικείμενοι δρυμοὶ μαλακοὶ καὶ κατάρρυτοι, ἥκιστα μὲν οἶστρον τρέφοντες, ἥκιστα δὲ ἄλλην τινὰ βλάβην βουσί.
