Νικόλαος δ ̓ ὁ Δαμασκηνὸς ἐν τῇ τετάρτῃ πρὸς ταῖς ἑκατὸν τῶν Ἱστοριῶν· «Περὶ Ἀπάμειαν, φησὶ, τὴν Φρυγιακὴν κατὰ τὰ Μιθριδατικὰ, σεισμῶν γενομένων, ἀνεφάνησαν περὶ τὴν χώραν αὐτῶν λίμναι τε αἱ πρότερον οὐκ οὖσαι καὶ ποταμοὶ καὶ ἄλλαι πηγαὶ ὑπὸ τῆς κινήσεως ἀνοιχθεῖσαι· πολλαὶ δὲ καὶ ἠφανίσθησαν. Τοσοῦτόν τε ἄλλο ἀνέβλυσεν αὐτῶν ἐν τῆ γῆ πικρόν τε καὶ γλαυκὸν ὕδωρ, πλεῖστον ὅσον ἀπεχούσης τῶν τόπων τῆς θαλάσσης, ὥστε ὀστρέων πλησθῆναι τὸν πλησίον τόπον ἅπαντα καὶ ἰχθύων τῶν τε ἄλλων, ὅσα τρέφει ἡ θάλασσα.»
