Πόλις ἔστιν ἐν τῇ κατὰ Θρᾴκην Σκυθίᾳ Τομεὺς ὀνομαζομένη. τῶν ἐνιδρυμένων ταύτῃ στρατιωτῶν ἡγεῖτο Γερόντιος, ἀνὴρ καὶ ῥώμῃ σώματος καὶ μελέτῃ πρὸς πᾶσαν πολεμικὴν χρείαν ἀρκῶν. ἦσαν δὲ πρὸ ταύτης τῆς πόλεως ὑπὸ βασιλέως ἀριστίνδην ἐκστάντες βάρβαροι, τῇ τε τῶν σωμάτων ἀνατρέχοντες εὐφυΐᾳ καὶ ἀνδρείᾳ πολὺ τῶν ἄλλων διαφέροντες.
