Ὅτι τὴν ἀνατολὴν οὕτω περιφράζει, ὅπου πρώτιστα φαείνεται ἀνθρώποις ἥλιος, ἤτοι ὅπου ἐστὶν ἡ ἀνατολὴ, ἔνθα καὶ τὸν ἠῷον καὶ Ἰνδικὸν εἶναί φησιν ὠκεανόν· ἠῷον μὲν λεγόμενον, διὰ τὸ ἐκεῖθεν ἀνατέλλοντος ἡλίου τὴν ἡμέραν γίνεσθαι, ἢ καὶ, ὡς ἓν ἀνθ' ἑνὸς εἰπεῖν, ἠῷον ἀντὶ τοῦ ἀνατολικὸν, ἠὼς γὰρ πολλάκις καὶ ἡ ἀνατολή· Ἰνδικὸν δὲ διὰ τοὺς παροικοῦντας Ἰνδούς. Ἰστέον γὰρ ὅτι πολλοὶ κόλποι φανήσονται ἀπὸ ἐθνῶν ἢ πόλεων καὶ ὅλως ἐκ τῶν παροικούντων ἐπονομαζόμενοι, ὡς ὁ Ὑρκάνιος, ὡς ὁ Ἰσσικὸς, ὡς ὁ Αἰθιοπικὸς, καὶ ἄλλοι πολλοί.
