Draco, qui vellus custodiebat, (Apollonius ait) in Caucaso editus est e terra, quae sanguinem de capite Typhonis fulmine Jovis percussi distillantem exceperat. Saucius Typhon fugam arripuit pervenitque usque ad οὔρεα καὶ πεδίον Νυσήιον, ἔνθ ̓ ἔτι νῦν περ Κεῖται ὑποβρύχιος Σερβωνίδος ὕδασι λίμνης. Ad haec scholiasta: Τὰ δ ̓ αὐτὰ περὶ τοῦ Τυφῶνος καὶ Ἡρόδωρος φησίν· ἔνθα καὶ περὶ τῆς Νύσης ἱστορεῖ, λέγων, Ἔστι δέ τις Νύση, ῦπατον κέρας ἀνθέον ῦλῃ, τηλοῦ Φοινίκης, σχεδὸν Αἰγύπτοιο ῥοάων. Ὁ δὲ Καύκασος διήκει ἀπὸ τῆς Ἀρμενίων χώρας ἕως Κόλχων· Ἡ δὲ Σερβωνὶς λίμνη διάκειται περὶ τὸ Πηλούσιον τῆς Αἰγύπτου.
