Caspiæ portæ panduntur· itinere manu facto, longo octo millibus passuum; nam latitudo vix est, plaustro permeabilis. In his angustiis etiam illud asperum, quod præcisorum laterum saxa liquentibus inter se salis venis, exundant humorem affluentissimum, qui constrictus vi caloris, velut in æstivam glaciem corporatur: ita labes invia accessum negat. Præterea octo et viginti millium passuum tractus omnis, quoquo inde pergitur, nullis puteis vel fontibus, sine præsidio sitit: tum serpentes undique gentium convenæ, a verno statim die illuc confluunt. Ita periculi ac difficultatis concordia; ad Caspios, nisi hieme, accessus negatur.
