εἰς τοσαύτην δʼ ὑπερβολὴν εὐδαιμονίας ἥκουσιν, ὥστε τῇ μὲν ἀρετῇ καὶ τῇ φύσει τῆς χώρας καὶ τῷ πλήθει τῶν πεδίων ἤπειρον καρποῦνται, τῇ δὲ τῶν περιόντων διαθέσει καὶ τῇ τῶν ἐλλειπόντων κομιδῇ διὰ τὴν τοῦ ποταμοῦ δύναμιν νῆσον οἰκοῦσιν· κύκλῳ γὰρ αὐτὴν περιέχων καὶ πᾶσαν διαρρέων πολλὴν αὐτοῖς εὐπορίαν ἀμφοτέρων τούτων πεποίηκεν.
