καὶ τούτων μὲν τῶν τόπων δοκεῖ μνημονεύειν καὶ Ὅμηρος, ὥς φησι Κράτης ὁ γραμματικός, ὅταν περὶ τῆς Κιμμερίων οἰκήσεως λέγῃ· λ 14 ἔνθα δὲ Κιμμερίων ἀνδρῶν δῆμός τε πόλις τε ἠέρι καὶ νεφέλῃ κεκαλυμμένοι· οὐδέ ποτ’ αὐτοὺς ἠέλιος φαέθων ἐπιδέρκεται ἀκτίνεσσιν, οὐδ’ ὁπόταν στείχῃσι πρὸς οὐρανὸν ἀστερόεντα, οὐθ’ ὅταν ἂψ ἐπὶ γαῖαν ἀπ’ οὐρανόθεν προτράπηται, ἀλλ’ ἐπὶ νὺξ ὀλοὴ τέταται δειλοῖσι βροτοῖσι.
