The Ægean Sea is received by the Hellespont, which ends at Abydos and Sestus: next, the Propontis, which ends at Chalcedon and Byzantium: here are the straits where the Pontus arises. Next, the lake of Mæotis. Again, from the beginning of Europe and Libya it is the Iberian Sea, which extends from the pillars of Hercules to the Pyrenees mountain. Then the Ligurian Sea as far as the borders of Etruria. Next, the Sardinian Sea, which is above Sardinia and inclines downwards to Libya. Then the Etrurian Sea, which begins at the extreme limits of Liguria and ends at Sicily. Then the Libyan Sea. Then the Cretan, and Sicilian, and Ionian, and Adriatic Seas, the last of which is poured out of the Sicilian Sea, which is called the Corinthian Gulf, or the Alcyonian Sea. The Saronic Sea is surrounded by the Sunian and Scyllæan Seas. Next is the Myrtoan Sea and the Icarian Sea, in which are also the Cyclades. Then the Carpathian, and Pamphylian, and Egyptian Seas: and, thereafter, above the Icarian Sea, the Ægean Sea pours itself out. There is also the coast of Europe from the mouth of the Tanais River to the Pillars of Hercules, 609,709 stadia: and that of Libya from the Tigris, as far as the mouth of the Canobus, 209,252 stadia: and lastly, that of Asia from the Canobus to the Tanais, which, including the Gulf, is 4,111 stadia. And so the full extent of the seaboard of the world that we inhabit with the gulfs is 1,309,072 stadia351    Vide Strab. bk. ii..

Περὶ πελαγῶν

Διαδέχεται τὸ Αἰγαῖον πέλαγος Ἑλλήσποντος λῆγον εἰς Ἄβυδον καὶ Σηστόν: εἶτα ἡ Προποντὶς λήγουσα εἰς Χαλκηδόνα καὶ Βυζάντιον: ἔνθα τὰ στενά, ἀφ' ὧν ὁ Πόντος ἄρχεται: εἶτα ἡ Μαιῶτις λίμνη. Πάλιν δὲ ἀπ' ἀρχῆς Εὐρώπης καὶ Λιβύης Ἰβηρικὸν τὸ ἀπὸ Στηλῶν εἰς Πυρήνην τὸ ὄρος: Λιγυστικὸν δὲ τὸ ἕως τῶν τῆς Τυρρηνίας περάτων: Σαρδώνιον δὲ τὸ ὑπὲρ τὴν Σαρδὼ νεῦον πρὸς τὴν Λιβύην κάτω: Τυρρηνικὸν δὲ τὸ μέχρι Σικελίας λῆγον, ἀρχόμενον ἀπὸ Λιγυστικῆς ἄκρων: εἶτα Λιβυκόν: εἶτα Κρητικὸν καὶ Σικελικὸν καὶ Ἰώνιον καὶ Ἄδριον, τὸ δὲ ἀνακεχυμένον ἐκ τοῦ Σικελικοῦ πελάγους, ὃν καλοῦσιν Κορινθιακὸν κόλπον ἤτοι Ἀλκυονίδα θάλασσαν. Τῷ δὲ Σουνίῳ καὶ Σκυλλαίῳ περιεχόμενον πέλαγος Σαρωνικόν: εἶτα Μυρτῷον καὶ Ἰκάριον, ἐν ᾧ αἱ Κυκλάδες: εἶτα Καρπάθιον καὶ Παμφύλιον. καὶ Αἰγύπτιον. Ὑπὲρ δὲ τὸ Ἰκάριον ἑξῆς ἀναχεῖται τὸ Αἰγαῖον. Ἔστι δὲ ὁ τῆς Εὐρώπης παράπλους ἀπὸ Τανάιδος ποταμοῦ ἐκβολῶν ἕως Ἡρακλέους στηλῶν στάδια Ϛ̈, θψθʹ: τῆς δὲ Λιβύης ἀπὸ Τίγας ἕως στόματος Κανωβικοῦ στάδια β̈, θσνβʹ, τῆς δὲ Ἀσίας ἀπὸ Κανώβου ἕως Τανάιδος ποταμοῦ μετὰ τῶν κόλπων ὁ παράπλους στάδια δ̈, ριαʹ. Ὁμοῦ παράλιος σὺν κόλποις τῆς καθ' ἡμᾶς οἰκουμένης στάδια ϊγ̈, θοβʹ.
