Parthia quanta omnis est, a meridie Rubrum mare, a septentrione Hyrcanum salum claudit. In ea regna duodeviginti dividuntur in duas partes. Undecim, quæ vocantur superiora, incipiunt ab Armenico limite, et Caspio litore, porrecta ad terras Scytharum, quibuscum concorditer degunt; reliqua septem inferiora, sic enim vocitant, habent ab ortu Arios Arianosque, Carmaniam a medio die, Medos ab occidui solis plaga, a septentrione Hyrcanos. Ipsa autem Media ab occasu transversa, utraque Parthiæ regna amplectitur; a septentrione Armenia circumdatur; ab ortu Caspios videt; a meridie Persidem. Deinde tractus hic procedit usque ad castellum, quod Magi obtinent, Passargada nomine. Hic Cyri sepulcrum.
