Alii istud ipsum (sc. Orestem sanitati restitutum esse) juxta Gytheum saxum contigisse memorant, quod Otiosum (i. e. Ἀργὸν Αίθον) vocarunt; super quo ubi sedisset Orestes, fuit ab insania liberatus, ut ait Nymphodorus Syracusius in Περίπλῳ sive Navigatione, et Pausanias in Laconicis (III, 22, I, ubi v. Siebelis; cf. O. Müller. Eamen. p. 149). Ἀθύρας, ἐπίνειον καὶ ποταμὸς περὶ τὸ Βυζάντιον. Ἔστι δὲ καὶ Σκυθίας ποταμὸς Ἀθύρας, ὡς Νυμφόδωρος. Νυμφόδωρος δ ̓ ἐν τῷ τῆς Ἀσίας Περίπλῳ καλλίονας φησὶ γίνεσθαι γυναῖκας τῶν πανταχοῦ γυναικῶν ἐν Τενέδῳ, τῇ Τρωικῇ νήσῳ. Ἔστι δὲ ποικίλος ὁ ἰχθὺς (sc. Ἡ σάλπη), ὅθεν καὶ τὸν Λοκρὸν ἢ Κολοφώνιον Μνασέαν, συνταξάμενον τὰ ἐπιγραφόμενα Παίγνια, διὰ τὸ ποικίλον τῆς συναγωγῆς Σάλπην οἱ συνήθεις προσηγόρευον. Νυμφόδωρος δὲ ὁ Συρακούσιος ἐν τῷ τῆς Ἀσίας Περίπλῳ Λεσβίαν φησὶ γενέσθαι Σάλπην τὴν τὰ Παίγνια συνθεῖσαν. Ἄλκιμος δὲ κτλ.
