Ὅτι πρὸς ἀνατολὰς τῶν Καρμανῶν ἡ τῶν Γεδρωσῶν ἕλκεται γῆ, γείτων ὠκεανοῦ μεγακήτεος. Τούτων ἡ χώρα Γεδρωσία, ὥστε αὐτοὺς ἀναλογώτερον καλεῖσθαι Γεδρωσιανοὺς κατὰ τὸν Γεωγράφον. Λέγονται δὲ καὶ Γεδρωσηνοί. Ἀκαρπίᾳ δὲ ἡ Γεδρωσία κατέχεσθαι λέγεται πολλάκις, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο τοῖς αὐτόθι τὸν καρπὸν εἰς ἔτη πλείω ταμιεύεσθαι. Ἀρωματοφόρος δὲ ἡ Γεδρωσία, καὶ μάλιστα νάρδου καὶ σμόρνης. Καὶ ὁ στρατὸς τοίνυν Ἀλεξάνδρου ὁδεύων ἐκεῖ τούτοις ἐχρῆτο ἀντὶ ὀρόφου τε καὶ στρωμνῆς. Λέγει δὲ καὶ Ἀρριανὸς ὅτι ἐν τῇ ἐρημίᾳ τῶν Γεδρωσῶν πολλὰ δένδρα εἰσὶ σμύρνης. Ἔχει δὲ καὶ νάρδου ῥίζαν πολλὴν καὶ εὔοδμον.
