RUFUS FESTUS AVIENUS PERIEGESIS seu DESCRIPTIO ORBIS TERRARUM [periegesis] or the delineation of the circle of the lands. Which prolonged lie huge separations the lands and are rolled prone with the movement with the steep which the rivers through the lands, struggle with which celebrated with the ancient the towns of the mouse, the specie with this at a distance all which of the animals tills, with Aonias will go on the active stylus began. The steep thing, to the muse. The god, behold the god enters Apollo the breasts, prophetic shaking the inner places to Cirrha. O Pierids, with the whole you may quicken with Helicon you come!, may chant together and with Phoebus your chorus; And Ocean, of the song of the soothsayers, the first you mention! to the poetry. Of Ocean for the land all with the open sea is girded, small as with the blue colour the island with the sea raises the head: Nor yet with the limit is smooth situation on all in the circle, which is tilled with the peoples, which earth obeys with the plough; But, with the early which turns red the sky with the sun, more wide, is bent with the country of the earth cut, for the rest prolonged. Three are the borders lands of the one: The first is to Libya and Europe and Asia. With the sea from Hesperius which penetrates himself with the open seas of the strength, and slides with the holes of the lands, steep Atlas which the high yokes swells, to Libya the shore unfolds himself: You finish to this Gads,the seven-each with the huge whirlpool with the shore at a distance of Nile, of Phariuses where the clod reclines, and Pelusiacuses are celebrated the temples of Canopus. With Europaequ hereafter is left side: But at a distance both one Asia, bending with the twin himself cherry-trees, pushes from above, and broken the separations the circle holds. Europe and Asia with Tanaas the river this with himself Sarmaticas disclosing with the boundaries marks apart the deeps torn with Araseus earlier with the sea, now his/her/their the wave disappears into Scythia: At a distance hence Maeotida [Tethyn] enters, and beats I thrust in the seas huge with the stream, and is stiff always with the breezes of the north-wind of Ismaricus. But which teeming with fish the whirlpool resounds of Hellespontus, the slanting strength to the salt warm sinks down into the purple dye, and the manner of the lands of the three is the sea, while may crawl into the mouths of the deep at a distance of Nile widely with Thetas [efflua]. The one part splits the circle of the earth with the limit. The earth the backs lying to Asia climbs into the shores, and immeasurable of the manner is prolonged. Here Caspia relying on touches from above the side compressing, and with the swelling the neighbour is with Euxinus: Asia the close by that and cuts Europe. The earth with the one himself into the south extends, and boils I thrust in the serving bowl lies between with the field;) And with Libycas Asia sees from the shores thus has been diverse opinion, duly which with the circle the limit might be had. The whole this roars around the agitations, and the mass of the unsafe sea binds. One is with the raving nature with the sea, of the sea but the names thousand, the sea as will have applied with the shores with the innumerable of the lands. Which with the flattering himself enough stretch the breezes [fauoni], Hesperium with the male Ocean enters the lands from the deep. With the axle to Lycaonia turned back you make, and where the hardships the warriors the earth suckles Arimaspas, in name only of Saturn widely the wave of the sea lies. Here thickened to the salt stand the marbles, and s/he/it holds you hesitate! with the bridge with himself nature, never the moisture destroys [effluus]: The dead this to Graius is presented the whirlpool in the use finally, I bend under strain which the salted region with the depths may be astounded, or the missing part foul of the circle may grow stiff which with the sun. The blunt strength these shores the fire Titanius blows, the strength exalted illuminates the days, and with the all man widely but the first which the day is raised on high with the rising I redden, the gold coin and trembling widely the redness corrupts the waves, the eastern sea, the seas Indian say to be spread out. Near Erythraeuses deep are stretched the backs, and of the Ethiopian salts is poured out. This friend burns the brightness, and here with the agitation panting of the rays Phoebus cooks the countries: The barren area is, and inhospitable widely is dry the ground, and hollow with the ground are parched the sands. Ocean thus embraces the all with the agitation I wander, on all thus one solicits the lands inter-less, and excavates with the sliding waves from above the innumerable bendings: Out of the much with the famous under the name only four poured in widely with the salt the backs part. The chief in the circle of the huge bending sea begets the seas, of the whirlpool of Hesperius: At a distance this prolonged in the pharynxes from Libycas of the rising draws the agitation, and where happy with the earth under the fat Pamphylia spreads out the clod, fails, and the shore of the shore is bent the curves. The other likewise is with the first more short, and more great with the two. This collapsed [aquaest], with the northern the spindle from the deep, Caspia with the wave begins to swell the backs with the stormy. Hyrcanum this sea the part names. Hence two turned back extend the mouths with the bridge: The twin serving bowl of the sea enters, and excavates the earth, which himself the friend with the axle being warm raises. One of these pours the fords far Persian, with Caspia inverted at a distance into the seas; And the fourth Arab is extended, this with the rapid through the area free from obstacleses with the stream swells, and the open sea sees afar Eusinus. Behold to you turned back of the sea of Hesperius the extent I will speak: The wave of that licks the backs to the sun, which with himself bereft roving unfolds. For even with the blue colour is encompassed the places with the agitation, or with the high with the low with the yoke shaves the borders, s/he/it binds the fortifications even of the spindle with the whirlpool to the bridge. Into the west wind the earth is extended, and the shore most far to the land transfers tall into the stars the columns. This manner is the circle [Gadir] the place, this steep swells Atlas, this with the hardship is turned the sky with the hinge, this to the surrounded is clothed with the clouds of the axle. And the first the broken himself the Hiberan sea there inserts into the lands: The head but and the beginning is to Europe and Libya. With the middles s/he/it is poured in with the shores, and the open sea creeps into. The rocks steep stand on both sides: Indeed one Europe, the other observes Libya at a distance. Thus separate with the sea the tall tops with the high have leaped out with the yokes, thus the stones enter the depths, thus the clouds enter, thus Maura Abila supports the sky with the whirlpool, and with the back Hiberica with Calp rises. The Gallic hence the agitation is rolled along. This over the city Massilia the tribe with Graia tills, and the sea swells Ligurus, and with the untamed the earth lies with Itala to the power. With Ausonas this area is; With the manpower the specie from most high Jupiter. Which himself the wild breezes northern through the inhospitable the lands discharge violently with the sky, with the peoples the head of Aeneadas, the white gem hereafter the rock is the boundary: This the seas near the tops of Trinacria rises the shore of the shore. The fords blue of the spindle with the bridge are disclosed likewise; With the island which Cyrnus with the wave is wet jesting, prolonging more wide of the bearing oysters shore the wave, and the immersed mass surrounds Sardinia hereafter of the sea, and with the grey hair foam the headlong seas with the wave. Hence with Tyrrhena to the salt the streams are, which the friend damp bends the axle: Which light himself turned back eastern escapes with the sea, of the Sicilian sea the wave boils, and slanting shakes more prolong-ed whirlpool the deep all the way into the yokes of the rocky Pachynus. The most much thence into Creta is drew with the bridge the swell: And this at a distance with himself bends the cliffs, and you meet! with the high waves the sea Gortynia advances the fortifications nearly, and of the sinking down you solace! near the fat of Phaestus. The prone with the sea the rock is extended, as the wild beast the shore is the ram, and besides threatening petitions with the hostile front: Finally thus to that more ahead name imparts the age: Nor less s/he/it gazes out Italy with the horn sharp of the shore, and rapid s/he/it is blown over with Iapygas with the mouth. Hence the Hadriatan marbles pour himself turned back with the waters into the northern, and the west wind hereafter bent for a short while the deeps petition, with the hoarse inside sudden with the wave: This serving bowl Ionius is bent the acts of the shore, the earth of the earth and twin is invaded with the deep. For the sea with himself inserts which with the blue colours with the waves, spreads out with the areas with Illyras in the pledges the fields, and the sharp specie of the men furrows Emathia above: Ausonidum [laeuast]. Hence with the long earth the earth is poured, and you vary! with the manpower arable of the peoples they are subdued to the sun. The triple-each these of the sea the wave thunders round. For which with himself the west winds raise on high the breezes, the depths is of Tyrrhenus of the sea; Which himself the friend raises with the brightness, Sicanum widely floats the sea: Which at a distance but pretty with the areas breathes from the morning stars the east, Ioniuses are the backs to the salt. Thus Itala the earth before the great with the surrounded side is licked with the waves. [efflua] after Sicilian masses s/he/it is disclosed of the deep, you say! the fords blue the seas crawl the friend widely, while sandy may elevate himself with the sea Syrts, and may reduce faithless with the raft male. The faint obviously with the sea now with the tired himself draws the wave through both. With the mountains from the Sicilian captures but prone the movement, and with Cretaeuses to the yokes soon more sparing rambles about Syrts between, and I have held cloaking most within with the stream. Turned back from Idaea with Salmonid the sea extends himself twin: The sailors have said Pharius deep, which at a distance into Casia inclines the adjoining rock: With Sidoniiqu hereafter widely with the open seas the wave boils, Issicus with the beyond measure while may open with the mouth of the bending, of the sea and our man the boundary may be: The countries where widely fat live Cilicus of the noble with the ploughs. You bend! with the open sea the form is: Hence the marbles the seas into the west wind turn himself, and with the turning slippery errs the whirlpool, and hollowed the wave slides the pools. Thus the luxuriant books of the foul-smelling with himself free will easy [cerastorum] under the entrail bend; Thus the dragon bends the coils frequently, you follow! even with the circle bending collects, or frees with the prone the streams far with the extents: The wood on all whole creaks, with the pestilential breath the roving serpent daubs the brightness. Not otherwise with the slid they are entered the shores with the wave, and turned back the earth enters the seas: With the yokes everywhere of the lowing with the sea s/he/it is, with the groan the altogether places reverberate. Pamphylia threatens to this widely, he/it the wave washes Chelidonias, pushed against hums the sea, more often and repeatedly become foamy the seas with the cliff, the boundary with these provisions to Patareidas projects of the citadel. And turned back into the west wind the fords himself own the blue colours bend. Hence with the open seas of Aegaeus the extent s/he/it thunders, you say! with Bootas the wagons hereafter rapid are turned the marbles of Nereus, rocky Sporadus often struggling against with the banks. Not the other so great rises the depths with the mass, swells not thus the curves with Thetas with the wave: The outermost to that into Tenedus of the running, the head of the sea begins with Imbrus. Of the earth hence prolonging prone the backs with Propontas, with the blowings out of northern warm s/he/it sinks down into the south, and to the immeasurable Asia s/he/it feeds the peoples with the breast to the land. Hence you compress between the pharynxes and the hostile stones Thracian divides you narrow Bosphorus the shores, Bosphorus to Inachia I am conveyed upwards of the maiden formerly. For the neighbourhoods to himself stand the shores; And the land to be forbade to the pharynxes with the shores is open-mouthed, prone the serving bowl vomits out the wave: The most nearest not elsewhere only you sift the separations of the earth: With this with the running of the cattle bucking into the sea with Inachas inflicted s/he/it is; Thus the anger has gleamed the breast, with Paelicas and with the so great the pain has raised the goddess with the fire. He/it is with the unsteady rumour with the salt the stones to be moved, and to be inflicted to himself with the pressing breezes the shores: Here rocks bring to err stiff through the marbles, and now the mouths to the salt have stretched out you lay waste the cliffs, now to uncover the serving bowl: The sea moans with the great murmur, or which crushed with Thetas opposite been indignant through the citadels may rage; Or which the short exit may stretch forth the waves, and with the tight the sea may discharge violently with the pharynxes. More within with the wide the sea with himself whirlpool pours, and of the waves at a distance the side unfolds, the bridle of a horse of Phoebus repeats which arching with the wheel with the purple under the rising. Thus you turn! of the sea the backs are spread out finally, in order that bend with the early the seas with the reins, more long or northern the whirlpool into the axle may relinquish. Indeed the sea our the serving bowl is most great to the wave. To this Asia from the left hands is girded and removes Europe, and the foe opposite hereafter himself Thracian compresses Bosphorus and is spread out with the opening of the mouth I have held hardly but where with the led aside the sea is stretched with the agitation, and produced to the male land the yokes more far enter into the sea, and with the roving extent his/her/their shores leave, with the earth Paphlagonum emerges rocky with Carambas. With the one himself the like rock at a distance of the ram to the mouth, is lethargic with the sky the hardships with the frosty with which Tauran, stretches forth, and held widely presses the seas with the front. Afar that sees the friend, close afar that way. Again between the waves and the spindles the marbles most nearest the seas of the high thus are to himself the backs of the yokes, although you lay! waste the mass of the open sea flows between the citadels, in order that of the twin the form is male. But the arms the sea, with the northern boundaries, into the rising of the eastern light, and the prone which is wrapped the days with the black with the shades, calmly bending, the bow makes the appearance of Scythicus; But warm about the part of the friend more straight I will burn, and incessant lying, s/he/it is stretched stiff under the likeness of the sinew: Inclining s/he/it passes the only borders with Carambas into the northern. With the northern turned back in the close mouth wide-spreading the bendings with Maeotidas the deeps of the swamp the seas rush forth: Scytha widely the barbarian lives the shores, and names the mother with the bridge the wave. The only parent punt, the mother these grounds [fluentost]: Bluish grey marbles with the bridge draw you wander! this with himself spring, with Cimmerius collapsed with the bending; For Bosphorus that Cimmerius uncovers the pharynxes: And about and over Cimmeras, the hard tribe, they till. Here Taurus into the yokes rises the steep places, and the sky with the top supports of the whirlpool, and with the high widely the head inserts with the stars. Here, with the marvelling open sea, formerly Thessala has inflicted himself [Argo], and floating the seas have been astounded the skiff. Thus huge the mass of the sea is inter-poured the shores: Thus the form with the whole at a distance unfolds himself male [orhe]. Now to you I will speak the earth with the verse: You instil! with the learned, O Phoebus, the lyre with the plectrum. With the muses you threaten! the life lasts, and with the remembering the praise always sprouts with the time. The unwearied may be your the stings of the mind, the reader, and with the wide-spreading of my sweat you drink! the songs with the jaws: The pleasant in these of the drink, the heavy merit, the continuous gratitude. Therefore with Libystidas of the suns and land the shore through the purple dye is stretched, eastern at a distance into the borders of the light. Gads the beginning is; The head of this earth but more close with the strait unites the shores with the extent, and enters with the wedge of Ocean of the salts: The boundary of that shore with the immeasurable of Arabs is contained with the waves. But the side with this the land more wide unfolds the fields, and the countries held extend. This with the fat earth the earth of Ethiopians is the nurse, which black near Erembas of the limit of Libya with the curve the grounds with the ploughshare furrow: And turned back the only Ethiopians lying near with the falling the countries hold. Thus torn the man the most far tribe to the land lives: Red cradles of the light blow these; These now are frightened with the only reins you anticipate. Near the tall with the area of the west wind Moors inhabit the columns; With these the flowing faith and inhospitable always they are stiff the hearts; The roving life with the robberies is drew with the hardships. With the most nearest himself widely the pastures of Numidas stretch, and Massyliuses above the poplar trees through the area free from obstacleses of the places scattering stir. The unskilled tribe of the reliable home is: Now into the overgrown with thorn from-creep finally of the cliff, now they shake the plains, now they ramble about the woods between with the spouses and daughters likewise: With the liquid measures all the adversities [glando]: Not with those the earth with the plough is furrowed: Not with these the lowing of the sheep resounds. The celebrated after these the fortifications rise of Tyria Carthage: That city with Phoenissa earlier, of Libycus now with the nurseling of the country, to the peace the flattering quiet, and with the war bloody willing. But hence into the sandbank more small steep destroys the wave, and more beyond hereafter which light returns himself to Olympus, the ancestor huge to himself widely draws the seas with Syrtas, and faithless with the raft the sea raves: The mass with Tyrrhenus is collected the steep places obviously of the waves with the agitation, and shakes with the great bending the open sea the shores with the wave; Behold I bend under strain other Nereus creeps forth with the whirlpool, and the wave hardly thin cloaks you dry the sands. The forgetful therefore of the manner always with the nature with the two with Syrts, and the lot frequently blind wearies the division. Of the both tall with Neapolas I halve the citadel [surrigit]: This turned back the tribe widely ancient Lotophaguses of the men include: The dreadful Nasamonas but thence you observe!, with which formerly the much swarms of the peoples have rotated only, much the sheep have spoken through the fields with the bleating: Now wide the jugerums the plains and lie with the nude flock, and are with the cultivators you bereave!. With Ausonas these skilful with the hardship s/he/it has laid waste pretty: To Ausonas unconquered the tribe single of the oak through the circle has brought the arms: The wild beast has dreaded the Latin manpower [Hister], Rhone trembles the Roman eagle-standards, Italidum with the sad strength [paludiuagos] Germany has cried the nurselings. Those touch blue the waves of the sea: But the earth departs which with the ship-bearing from the agitation, the innumerable tribes, the swarms of the peoples thousand countries hold. This venerable sings the utterances [Hammon], he/it finally of the light lows the wood with the sandy places. Cyrenae near the old time assists, and the tall city is raised the citadels, and with Apollo nourished rich: Marmaridas nearly; At a distance these yet bend most far with Egypt of the power: With the back Gaetulia the clod immediately hence Garamas widely adjoining stretches, wild Garamas, with the feet persistent, and with the use of the reed noble: But how great inward of the lands they recede, in order that at a distance with Ocean the nearby earth becomes wet, the shore of the great earth feeds the peoples of Ethiopians, the boundary of Ethiopians approaches the peoples most far with Cern. After Blemies the mediators climb the reins of the sun, the bodies the great men, black with the skin, the entrails of the dry land, and bound round with the sinews existing of the arm. These soft with the swift run the sands with the foot always, nor yet impressed leave the steps the cuttings. Afar fat the rivers of Nile disclose hence himself, and eager the wave of the sea collapses. This which with the secrets happens the fields with the turnings, the tongue of Ethiopians with Siras destroys: And as [Syenen] the epithet for river constituting to the rich flatters the places with the river, draws in name only with the clear himself Nile, you say! the lying Egypt the spindle with the wave nuptial presses the countries, and makes fertile the ground: At a distance there collects the streams into the northern, and torn with the roving bends the sea not to that the any fellow flows, celebrated whichsoever on all with the whole himself the rivers with the lands may discharge violently. Indeed Nile scatters immeasurable the life into the fields, and the daughter with the whirlpool favours with the imported: Nile renews the honour to the earth: Nile beats the most great seas. This marks apart Asia from Libya, with the axle [fauoni] separating Libya; From the rising middle of the returning sun unyoking of Asia the borders with the wave. Nor at a distance the tribe of the strengths lives those, with the axles formerly more ahead which has observed the human laws and the laws, you are discharged which with the hardship, which long with the weight of the plough has disturbed the ground, has taught which the offspring have eaten with the furrows the earth, which chopping with the parts has projected the brightness with the slanting the sun to hasten with the sky. Of that therefore to you the form of the area and you beg I will disengage with the verse. The flattering is stretched out the air, wasteful the earth of the herbs lies, the adversities nowhere the heights rise, the port excavates the crowded mouths. The land hereafter of the returning provides whichsoever with the time of the year, before the all you may be astounded and with the appearance and manner. The triple-each in the place of the foliage is, but more wide with the axle to Bootas, with the light under the eastern more confine-ed, is stretched all the way [Syenen], from where conscientious are rolled the rivers of Nile. This the city is to Theba, Thebas which with the high fortifications have girded the home: [Memnon] where Tithoneus suspects rosy the reins of Aurora the mother. The part which [coeaneo] departs from the sea, endures seven towns: The part inclines the southern into the shore, and the manner is to that with Serbonidas high of the swamp; S/he/it is beaten the others with the genital organs with the mouth [fauoni]. This has placed the city with the pledge of Pellaea of the tribe; Here between the high widely rising the cloud the temples of Sinopaeus Jupiter assist struggled with the columns, with the rich man of the stones clothed with the metal, with the gold heavy supported, snowy beaming with the tooth. Nor less this to the lookout the whirlpool is transferred, may be out of which to sift far to Pallenidas inmost to the land. But with which rising to the land the conscious part [Phoebost], with the rampart of the walls with Pelusia the fortifications rise. The tribe this learned to the swollen salt runs the seas with the whirlpool, has you say! have turned stormy the small sailing boat the game of the wave, and hoarse reveals the life in the wave. The such form lies to Libya, and with the such retreat from the west wind the earth presses on the morning star into the axle. The grounds of that extended of the earth on all furrow the innumerable tribes, which scattered with the long shore of the southern Ocean the fords widely blue touch; And which in many ways the middles with the earth stirring the countries subdue, and which high with Tritonidas of the swamp as surround to the surrounded with the swarm of the peoples. Now to you and to Europe I will speak the side: This, where the strength of Atlanteus of the sea enters the lands, takes the rising. One the flowing of the open sea cuts each, and at a distance one prevents the bone both: Same ingratiating with the bridge Europe and Libya rapid marks apart with the agitation. But more ahead that yet with the warm is overspread with the south, these curved mad back enters the north-winds. Both touch Asia turned back with the like under the limit: The level on both sides the manner is prolonged: But likewise both if to himself the any wishes to collect, one for a short while in order that the ground is believed, and inter-flowing of the middle with the bridge may subtract; Immediately, with the such the piney nut [formast], the one-each with the living with the heels the likeness to Europe and Libya will climb: Thus for the side unfolds both, one and to the each the head, like likewise you finish to the each but yet Hesperiuses observe which the wave of the sea, both collect to himself with the earth I prolong the lands; Which with the early the sun blows that of your with the fires, more wide with the both the appearance is stretched. One this with the agile under the mind holding, just as you meet! you will have for the rest of the lands. The earth Europe most nearest with the columns feeds noble in spirit with the level earth Hiberuses. These above touch cold of the northern Ocean the seas, and with the running forth wide more wide the countries of the field hold, with the hardships too the neighbourhoods with Britons; And yellow the hair Germany extends I will burn, overgrown with thorn to Hercynia scouring the borders to the wood. Thence Pyrenees begin to swell the snowy backs, and the wild peoples of Gauls through the inhospitable stir the life of the land: Then the blue colour Padus vomits out with the cave here the earlier times Heridanuses near the well-wooded streams have cried clear slipped with Phaethonta the sisters, and the moved hands have struck the breasts with the branchs. Nor at a distance hence with the stiff Alps rise up with the cliffs, and the yokes with the whirlpool sift the being born day with the high. Again between the rock and the stones speaking Rhine, with the whirlpool which the clouds misty supports Adulas, pushes the waters, and with the bluish grey grasping revolves the mass of the whirlpool with the stream, of Ocean while northern into the waves may disappear, and with the swift may break through the marbles with the wave. That and the secrets with the sudden barbarian woman project Danubius, but warring yet is the nature with the stream. With Abnoba the mountain with Histrus the father is: The river falls with the opening of Abnoba; Into the morning stars but s/he/it is turned the axles, and with Euxinus to the open sea s/he/it is rolled along; The mouths through the sea five discharge the river, which himself at a distance the island with Peuc stretches forth: This stiff which breathe the breezes of the north-wind, Sarmata, of German, [Geta], and O wild Basternas, and the peoples hold Dacorus, the sharp Halanus holds, with Incola of Tauriscus with Scytha of the shore; And thence turned back dreadful the surrounded tribe of Melanchlaenus wanders. You come! near the area is of Neuruses, and the swift Gelonuses, and girded with the witchs always decorated of Agathyrsus. Thence the strength of Borysthenius with himself of the river raises Euxinus into the sea: Then the seas Panticapaeuses and rise of Riphaeus the mountain to be erupted to the high you about the whirlpool, where the hardships thick with the hedge under the close discharge violently frosty the clouds the rainstorms. Here the rich blood-vessels snowy beget the ice, and this with the untamed the earth with the steel grows stiff between Riphaeuses and the great men Agathyrsuses. These the tribes Histrus, which with himself hard blow with Bootas extends, press on: The middle about the part to the day through crawling the backs of the overgrown with thorn Gerrhas of the yokes inhabit. The towns widely Noran touch Gerrhas, and beyond measure turned back the fat grounds of the clod Pannonia exercises. The northern more high with the field enters Moesus, and with the extended after the back with the earth the most much passes Thracas: Then themselves most great Thracians with the ploughshare curved disturb the places: Finally with the long which teeming with fish produced lies with the space with Propontas, and with the steep which the wave Hellespontus raves, and Aegaeus hereafter at a distance into the sea, the greatest amounts arable hold Thracians: This [mellifluis] feeds Pallena under the caves to Lychnitas red the flames: This and the tawny jasper vibrates with the stars, how much the archs fiery through the brightnesses with the continuous erupt the stars with the flames. This turned back with the setting I will speak Europe from the shores. These as with the mirrors the rising most much with the triple-each, the light source of Achaemenia the light observes: One Hiberuses the limit has, the limit one holds finally Graiuses, the mediator of Ausonia prolongs more wide the countries. Which clod reclines the neighbourhoods of Ocean with the open sea, of Ocean of Hesperius, he/it swells the steep places with Calp; The Spanish this the field, the earth there the rich Hiberum: With Tartesusqu above s/he/it is raised on high: And thence the tribe of Cemsus conducts, into the steps of the cliff Pyrenees prolonging the peoples: With the middle himself limit the clod with Ausonas showers; The middle Appenninus cuts Ausonia: For with the northern which the whirlpool about with the brightness Alps thicken, rises the head with Appenninus; And the earth of Sicanius is wet which with the agitation of the sea, as puts the yokes of the driven forth mass with the whirlpool. To this around the much grounds most nearest furrow the tribes; And yet these all men clever to you the muse will speak. The first the tribe of the ancient is there of Tyrrhenuses: Thence Pelasga the hand, petitions of Hesperius of the whirlpool to Cyllena out of the boundaries formerly which relying on, Itala holds fast the countries: Then the much are stretched with the part Latin, through which with Tybras of the being yellow-coloured the father unfolds the waves, and pre-licks the Roman homes with the gliding nourished. Hence the Campan field throws the clod: Here the seas have undertaken the seas formerly [Parthenopen] in coaxing slipping into the marbles with the bending: The warm if turned back into the purple dye you are turned the eyes, well-wooded most great you will sift the heights of Picenus: The hair of the lavish vine he/it is stretched, and with the spindle Bacchus covers the countries with the whip. Then the area of Lucanuses with the rising up high with the rocks dreads: The only unjust worry thick roughens, and with the thick the woods are blinded with the post. Britius hence the thorn bushs sharp tills between, and the citadels may stretch the sea, and with the bursted apart the seas with the lands may bend always unsteady the sea, which or with the morning stars Hadrias the wave with the fords ejects lavish at a distance the sea-weed, or which steep of Tyrrhenus is wrapped the agitations. About of the west wind hence the cliff swells the back, you say! with Bootas the wagons open with the white rises with the whirlpool the stone. Here with the ancient himself the tribe of Locrus has inflicted, and with the long salt afar imported, which with the whirlpool of the bridges breaks the river the herrings, Graias have ruled the linens to the skiff. Hence Metapontinuses wander more wide with the country: Thence [Croton] with the ancient s/he/it elevates the fortifications with the walls: Aesarus this river salted is turned with the wave, and with Juno are warm here with the patron of the altar always. Nor less roused after the dreadful nearby rivers of the thundering unfortunate with Sybaras [ruinast]; With Samnitaequ wild inhabit the borders: After these the tribe has held Marsus formerly the places: And then Tarentum rises, the very hard shoot of Amyclaeus of the tyrant. Hence the precipitate Calabria lies the plains into the wide-spreading, and over the dried they are stretched Iapygs with the field. Here with the steep himself the wild beast with Hadria to the sea collects. Here the appropriate Aquileia with the high inserts the head with the stars: With Tergestumqu hereafter of the curved salt s/he/it lies on the shore, outermost which of Ionius removes himself bendings of the sea. So many peoples surround Ausonia with the high fortifications, the tribes surround Italy so many with the rich earth. Into the eastern light source turned back with the passable himself the seas turn, and Assyrian the axle of Ionius the bluish grey seas to the salt suspect afar, and bind with the sea the first Liburian peoples; The tribe of Hyllus most much turned back dwells near: This I have held the earth is divided with the agitation. With Illyras the shore hereafter is stretched: And here with the dangers often of the keels with the famous Ceraunia they rise. Then which of the creeping forth are the swollen fords Nereuses, of Harmonia and Cadmus the clod barbarian endures the grave: For with the long disturbed more often with the circle, after Hismenuses of the river have left the wave, here into the epithet for rivers moved the members the dragons have freed the day, and have given to the effort the boundary. Nor less this other the specie of the monster the eye-witness to the brightness has published: The rocks two appear before, whenever which of the atrium threatens the outcomes, in order that the lot of the things wearies the hearts of the common people, and the harshness of the utterance may rub the tribes, and are set in motion with the ground, and the stones collect to himself with the whirlpool. But the mild which likewise breathes the friend, and the breezes beat Oricius only, the borders of Graia the lands begin to uncover the side, and luxuriant with the long the jugerums reveal with the spaces, girded with the two with the outbreaks of the sea poured in: This the seas obviously Aegaeuses lick of the sea; The quick Hadria turned back washes this with the wave: With the twin thus with the whirlpool widely Graia is wet the earth, and the chosen marbles the winds his/her/their each, indeed moved with the depths begin to swell. The east into Aegaeus stirs up the breezes: With the part of the falling with the west winds of the little the Hadriatan backs swell. The island offers himself turned back with Pelopas the going to see, the island which with the leaf of the plane-tree the fellow sits. Of the isthmus obviously the most high head is united, and earth inclines the limited spaces into the northern, and is adjacent Graiuses the fields: For the rest under the appearance of the leaf the countryside is stretched, and recedes with the earth through the each side with the sinuous often: But with the warm which earth is beaten with the south, with Triphylas of Graiuses with the barren himself the shore extends. Hence the sacred Alpheus draws the river, and roving the sea flows Eurotas. The other flatters Pisanuses, the other cuts Amyclaeas with the swift with the stream the lands. The island which bends you bend the hollow valley, Arcads immense near wait Erymanthus. The full this licks the waters [Ladon] the crops fat. Nearly Argiuus the field, nearly are the gardens Laconum: Those the first day, I may be concealed that of your the south observes. The twin roars around the backs of the isthmus hereafter of the agitation, with the part Ephyrs, the spruces which conducts us black you darken, and early which extends the light the rising. Here with the use to Graius the name holds with the wave to Saronas. The Attic this beyond the limit lies, the Attic earth of the warriors the mother mentioning of the men. The fertile this with the herbs conveys upwards Illissus the river: S/he/it has brought northern of Illissus to the pool Orithyia. With Boeotumqu hereafter the borders join himself, and with Locras, and wide-spreading will be furrowed! Thessalus of the field, and the exceptionally rich Macetum the ground; The steep Hemus swells, and the head is transferred Threicius: The nurseling of the west wind of Dodona the prophet is adjacent Hemus to the parts from. With the axle of the friend the Aetolian tribe tills stiff beneath the cliffs of Aracynthus; With the caterpillars there pretty open slips, and you may make green furrowing the lands male Achelous intrudes the back of Hadriacus; And here you may frequent with the waves they are elevated Echinads: Not at a distance thence ancient Cephallenas rise the towns to the land. Delphica why not also mixes the borders with Phocas, into emerging of the light more prolong-ed; You say! [Booten] Thermopylas go. This with himself Parnasia the cliff raises: Here with the swift Cephisus is rolled with the wave: Here formerly the soothsayer transacted with the reed the members, loosens the luxuriant books of the blood and fall. In that place often the god we have observed pleasing, between the burning incense here we have seen Phoebus the altars. Now as the each will have risen I wander the island with the sea, with the rank with which the immersed stones will have stood with the sea, I will disengage. To the skiff the running from the wave of the setting whirlpool may be led: I entreat, you breathe!, to the poetry, between and placed opposite you stretch! the linens the lands. [Gadir] the first the sea overtops the solid figures with the citadel, with Attollitqu the head with the twins you thrust! in with the columns. This Cotinussa earlier had been under ancient name, and Tartesus hereafter Tyriuses have said the farmers, the barbarian woman why not also the tongue frequents Gads this: Carthaginian obviously calls on all the place [Gadir] surrounded with the rampart extended. Tyriuses through the inhospitable widely the seas advanced, have held as the shore of the earth, the houses have placed; These with the each most great the temples to Amphitryoniada give, and fear the god nourished. The island himself near Gymnesia lifts from the deep, and beloved to the roving cattle rises Ebusus, and of Sardinia you prevent, and the in-dreading Corsica with the woods: With Aeolidesqu hereafter with the swollen himself waves the islands publish, and whiten on all with the sea I thrust in. The king Aeolus has held these formerly: Aeolus he/it with the hostess has granted you disturb the shores to the sailors, Aeolus with the command high of the most high Jupiter the eye-witness imposed with the sea is, to shower with the prison the winds and to settle of the salts. Seven himself with the agitation of the sea the citadels escape: The high the king Aeolus the hall this has had. Then the earth Trinacria has spread out Ausonia with himself into the shore and is stretched with the field with the wide-spreading. This but assists with the triple-each with the outbreaks of the bricks,the three-each with the blue colours far extends the yokes with the waves. Into the early Pachynuses the rising is revealed: The part is warm from the west wind with Lilybeia: The high with Peloras whole [sereniferae] s/he/it is beaten with the blowings to the she-bear. This the faithless journey of the sea, and the pitiable utterances have wrapped with the open sea and wave have drunk to the ravenous often of the raft. Narrow marbles push the pharynxes, and the limited spaces adjoining throw headlong quick of the bridges. Which with himself part hereafter high the friend raises to the brightness, the strength widely of Libycus raves of the sea. With the one ibis to Syrtas; But the seas collapsing stretch other more beyond, and small with the blue colour echos round with the sea [Meninx]. Turned back into Hadriaca the small sailing boat with the collecting the wave, and left the curves the sea with the furrowing with the alder, the island brings out himself [Grai] with Diomedas with the whirlpool, Italy observing and with Iapygas the countries of the farmer. Here that moved formerly the anger has brought Dions, after has drew through the swift exiled Hiberuses: Of the spouse here dreadful the madness to Aegialia has sent. If any of Ionius with the raft turned back blue may run the seas, and may reveal into the risings the morning stars the skiff, the rock of Absyrtus and will discover thick immediately the citadels. The concern and the faiths has raised Colchuses here formerly, mad pursuing [Aeetinen]. Nor at a distance Ioniuses through the backs Libyrnids assist: You say! the notoriety after the dreadful with the made of linen Ceraunia if any turns, and may avoid into the axles warm the small sailing boat, of Ambraciotas the citadels will climb immediately, and the house of Alcinous will be spread out with Cercyra turned back, the adorned Cercyra only, with the substantial Cercyra I furrow. This above the earth is, the old hall of Ithacus of the tyrant, of the exile and with the whole ravaged often I pour. The most much besides rise the stones with the whirlpool, which prolonged you get water the pretty Achelous rambles about; With Amnisusqu hereafter the wave flows around other, which yet into the northern incline more; With the small Aegila and tall they begin to swell the head with the pretty Cythera; This projects also the rocky Calauria nearly; Carpathus this is elevated the cliffs: This yet considers the axle setting. The nurse here with Creta of the thundering, much the side, and is raised with the sea the clod the fruitful and rich of the being green. Has assisted the clay above [Ida], [Ida] with the stormy stirring with the north-winds the ash-trees. Nor at a distance Rhodus is adjacent Egypt, is adjacent the shore Suniaduses, which prolongs himself the earth Abantus, the earth of the fertile Aegina, and rich with Salamas. From with emerging of the light, Pamphylia which excavates the agitation of the collapsing water, Cyprus is surrounded the deeps with the wave, and is beaten of Dionaeus the acts of the shore. Thence Chelidonias lift three himself with the whirlpool, the front held with the open sea to Patareidas projects which of the citadel. The happy hereafter Aradus pre-lies Phoenicus I will burn, much where hollowed the serving bowl is from the deep of the earth, and the all side to the sun at a distance into the expenses goes of the shore, and is pre-licked with the curve the mouths with the stream. The wonderful but that hereafter the whirlpool of Aegaeus is had, which twin about the part to the salt just as with the rank male split advances the stones immersed, thin throw headlong himself [areta] with Athamantidas celebrated with the death: The sixth where and Abydus with the small salt are seen, and the neighbourhoods to himself the borders sea licks. The part at a distance to Europe the left side, observes the others again the rich Asia: The all yet with the rank made the islands into northern proceed the wagons with Bootas. Europe the luxuriant limit presses on Abantus. Scyrus there widely swells the back, and Peparethum before-lifts the sea. Nearly Uulcania is raised Lemnuses, and to Ceres Thasus beloved with the depths extends with the white himself whirlpool: Imbrus juts out, and Thressa rises near Samus: And thence turned back Cyclads constitute Asia, and crown Delus. The all men with the prophetic look after the solemn observances with Phoebus. For with new spring the earth with the hard himself loosens, and with the hollow heights in coaxing the winged swallow resounds, the devoted tribe stirs the choruses, and with the thank with the hallowed play with the festive day, the nourished god goes to see the sacrifices. Hence Sporads frequently reveal with the earth with the thick himself with the lightened as the stars with the sky shine. Nor less the islands from the deep are elevated Ionids. Here nearly Caunus, Samus here with Saturnia nearly, and then Chian wide-spreading the gazing out countryside to Pelina. Lesbus likewise and Tenedus through the marbles of the area free from obstacles with the bridge disengage the citadels, and the heights with the clouds introduce. Hence himself teeming with fish the serving bowl of Hellespontus spreads out. This discharges the foams of the northern salt the active agitation, this prolonged shakes widely the bluish grey seas with Propontas. If any left hand hereafter of Euxinus may furrow the marbles, the mouths of Borysthenius incline which into the sea of the river, out of the area at a distance will observe the heights Leucs. With Leuc white the yoke, with Leuc you sit of the souls: For after the utterances the man always to live in that place guiltless they say the souls; Where I lay waste the voids the cliff goes into the caves with the bending, where the stones part with the masses hollowed, and hang with the curved arch. These are the gifts with the conscientious: Thus Jupiter with the most within has removed those with the darknesses, of Erebus thus the unskilled strength. Turned back Cimmerius which Bosphorus with the shore opens, more skilful punt enters the island, and you lay! waste widely the mass passes the sea: Huge with Phaenagor sits afar, and Hermonassa is elevated the walls. These of the sea poured in rise to the island from the deep. More outer which wave hereafter, immersed and which may boil Ocean, with which those all with the blowings the heights may be beaten, remembering you give! with the song to the muse. Near Atlanteuses the back with the open seas of Ethiopians the tribe Hesperids inhabit; This to Erythia swells the back, and this of Sacrus, thus the steep tribe calls the backs, of the mountain: For prolonged the yoke the earth draws: This head to the opportunity is emerged to Europe: The mother this shore of the metal, discharges the blood-vessels of the being livid pool: The sharp Hiberus this runs through often the seas with the swift with the kidney-bean. Afar here the others ice cold near the breezes of the north-wind excel the waves and the huge tops lift. These just now twin, fat you solace!, of the earth to the opportunity, setting which Rhine of the whirlpool is placed the wave, dreadful of Britons endure the streams with the lands. The foaming this likewise with the bridge unfolds I dissolve the agitation, and out of the sea of the shallow water the whirlpool enters: This huge chorus reveals the night the sacred game: The money beat with the voices, and with the thick widely the grounds with the heels push. Not thus near the rivers of Absynthus of Thracian nourishing Bistonids; Not, with the swift which s/he/it destroys Gangs with the stream, the peoples stood of Indians look after the holidays with Lyaeus. The long hereafter with the swift if any with the raft may run the marbles, pushes you say! Lycaonian the skiff at a distance close, will discover I lay waste rising with the whirlpool [Thulen]. This when Phoebeius the fire touches the wagons of the pole, blazes at night under the bright wheel of the sun with the chips of wood incessant, and the envious night leads the clear day. For the sun with the slanting is turned with the hinge of the universe, and more nearby with the setting axle bends straight over the rays, while the yokes turned back panting with the sloping the friend may take with the sky. Thence the streams are stretched Scythicuses far male into the rising of the torch eastern: Then [coeaneis] the island from-creeps from the waves, which ancient the bridle of a horse is marked with the use of the name, the sun this more with the circle may turn red which with the tawny. The observer likewise, may turn into the purple dye as with himself male, you say! the friend Ocean bends the seas blue with the bridge: And the deeps with Coliadas will open of the cliff the custom here to you the backs, and eager you will observe the citadels of the earth. On behalf of which with the huge stopping with the mass through the waves the island with Taproban begets the foul elephants, and is parched to settle above hot the crabs. The immeasurable this extends, and is extended with the shores on all through the sea with the huge: The side but immediately to that the streams of the of sea-fishes cattle, the roving monsters of the depths, they jest: The marbles whole of Erythraeus boil seas to the wild beasts: These, as stiff the most great yokes of the mountain, elevate with the clouds the all side, and the backs swell: The image in these the steep direction of the cliff of the spine assists, with the masses in the high the sharp stone likewise thick in-dreads. Cannot safely sentence-translate one word! From! Not any rapid conveyed upwards with the wave of the whirlpool this into the backs of the open sea may stir up ever the small sailing boat: Cannot safely sentence-translate one word! From! Lest with the monster-bearing, s/he/it is permitted the enemy, s/he/it may inflict with the waves of the agitation: The beyond measure widely extends with the shores the opening obviously wild, with the cave huge they are spread out the throats; Immediately these devour themselves nut-brown with the pharynx, and the truthful monsters wrap likewise soon the sailors. With Ogyras thence with the open sea brings out the head, the rude cliff, with Carmanas which with himself of the sea at a distance imports the waves; The earth this mark of the king Erythraeus with the grave is stretched, and with the nude the yokes only with the rocks dread. The Persian hence s/he/it is open-mouthed the pharynxes of the agitation: With the island turned back, if yet into the northern the skiffs are turned the narcotic plants, Icarus with the airborne rises with the whirlpool into the breezes, Icarus [ignicomo] to Sun god the sacrifices; Insomuch as Sabaeuses of the frankincense with the ibis always roving the smoke the clouds roll. To the island in the outbreaks of Ocean these to you only with the song are worthy: The sea besides bears on all the much, small with the appearance, and with the rumour missing the district Asia, Libya the part is adjacent one the punt, the part sees Europe: Not these yet or the manner to the shore, or inward entrusts I have bewared the blood-vessel of the metal. The others of these with the hardships uncover the shores of the strength with the sailors, and scabby in the much the sharp stone is stiff; On all unjust [surrigitur] the whirlpool, and inhospitable of the earth [orast]. The arum plant which may farewell numerous as the names to speak? If any wishes this, may wish to know may be bent it same the how many deep with the sea of the wave, the how many stars the skies train the flames, the how many oaks may advance [Ida], how great the number of the sands may be rotated from the east. With the song now the stylus may form Asia: You instil! learned, O Phoebus, the lyre! With the whole [Helicon] s/he/it may breathe from the caves. The most great part of the circle will be told; The celebrated earth will be brought out with the muses. The sum of the lands of the two of the one is the limit, which with the earth covers both. More huge but to the rich Asia the head, and thence slowly into the early s/he/it is united the shore the axles. This to assist at a distance of Bacchus brings the columns with the rumour, most far which of Ocean besets the lands the agitation, the Indian which outermost swells the cliffs, with the roving which Gangs, with the earth the backs drawing into Nysaeus Platamona is extended. The like by no means is the form with the two, nor the manner is comparable: One finally cuts the sea Ocean, [trinoque] with the bending roving flows the agitation one the mass of Asia: The serving bowl that Persian enters, most great tears this of Arabs the serving bowl, and the sea of the bending inserts Hyrcan: Two black with the parts the souths are bent, the third close suspects stiff: This and creeps forth into of Euxinus the wave of the marble, and observes at a distance the west wind with the back: Both the earth is adjacent much hereafter, and is stretched with the countries with the long. But I lay waste Asia the mountain with the rampart presses on Taurus, [interstatque] I marry middle, Pamphylia with the plain which lies, beginning, and leads into the sea of Indians the steep places of the whirlpool: Now but [surrigit] he/it same the slanting citadels and the pliant the money beats; Now with the straight with the ground held s/he/it fastens the steps. The thousand hereafter the rivers one discharges, one stretches forth the rivers through the lands, or which is stiff the mouths with Bootas, or with the gentle which the friend breathes, the east resounds which, and I hurl down violently which the west wind is raised on high with the axle. Nor yet this with the one is marked in name only everywhere, but turns now the journey, new leaps out; And as with the swelling the nearby tribe eats away below, moves the foreign nouns. You take!, which peoples may surround finally Taurus. The chiefs of Maeota have surrounded salted the swamp. The wild Sarmata appears before likewise, the trumpet signals formerly of the tribe Amazonidus the shoots: For when earlier those sprung had conducted huge near the rivers with Thermodontas to Threicius about Mars, made the lying togethers have joined: The long Sarmata exercises the woods: Out of which the lapse with Tanaas at a distance wanders through the countries barbarian, and prolongs into the salted the backs the swamp. Here Europe marks apart Asia. The steep that Caucasus discharges violently: Scythicuses this spindle into the fields of the not pacified suckles the manpower of the peoples. Each of this shakes the side with the opportunities with the winter to the storms, and confined this the colds hold. The most nearest turned back Cimmeriuses and Sinduses till: Cercetia the tribe is and near the specie of Toretas: And thence Achaeuses, from with the banks and Idaeus of Xanthus Simoent, between the north-west wind-swept and of sharp stones of the valley, have transported the home. Nearly the rude tribe waits of Eniochus, and of Zygus hereafter, which the powers Pelasgus leaving, formerly the seas have held you come! near. The active these near Colchus tills: That with the fruitful entwines the exile from Egypt high the adversities of the cliff: Caucasus to Hyrcana too close by to the wave of this with the valley at a distance with Phasas moans, prostrates oneself with the cave of that the streams, and Circaea the gliding into the countries happens, Euxinus. The northern with the hinge of the sky turned back into the borders of the eastern light the earth bent lies, with the twin deep the neighbourhoods. Caspia for widely the wave besets the land above, and eats away below of Euxinus the back with the open seas: The rude Hiberus this conducts: This formerly with Pyrenid beaten from the shore of the earth from-oh has held the grounds, as with the roving hedge the chance paternal snatches exact: The tribe of Camaritas holds the seas of the plain, which after the contests Bacchus, Indian Bassaridum when the conqueror was leading the streams, have taken with the cottages, and have given the tables with Lyaeus: The orgieses playing and Ceres priests surrounded the breasts have escorted the choruses, the shows of Nysaeus of the rite. Caspia [Tethys] rises these above into the waves. This saying to me; Nor of the dreadful whirlpool ever I have purified with the relying on ship the barbarian woman, nor roving I have crawled the circle on all: But huge the rivers with Gangas, you prevent Caucaseas and [dumicolas] I will sing Arienuses with the procentor with Phoebus, and with the muses instructresses in all respects with the truthful hastening with the song I will spread out. Caspia through the smooth [Tethys] is stretched the shores, and the shores with the lands bend the whole this with the curves. Only but with the spindle the sea lies that with the depths, in order that the three-times the moon renews the earlier times the growths of the torch, which the blue colour with the swift raft may go over the sea. Ocean of the whirlpool the father is: Insomuch as the snowy that with the axle inflicts Helics rapid the headlong seas with the bridge, and the serving bowl thence to himself draws the sea: This warlike the fords near Caspia lives Scytha; And here wild wait Albanuses: The wild he/it the countries hard Cadusus holds, the swift Marduses, O Hyrcanuses, and of Apyrus. With the nearby earth Mardus flows, and constitutes at a distance themselves Bactruses; Touching finally fierce with the stream Dercebiuses, the mediator marks apart both, and is enfolded with the agitation with the swollen of Hyrcanus the salt. But Bactrena with the huge ground at a distance arable they recede, and with the continual of Parnassus the tribe with the cliffs is covered those: Dercebiuses the other confines the side and the fords touches Caspia: Then clear with the quivers and with the agile arrow Massagetas hoarse climb the river with Araxas: The hard from the stock the specie, gentle the unaware mind the lives, the trades of the yellow Ceres disregard, of Bacchus always in-without have drew the soul of wild beasts. With these the food and the drinks likewise is: For the blood concerning horses and they drink the composed milk through the barbarian throats. Nor at a distance towards the northern dreadful have placed the hospitalities of Chorasmus, and nearly prolongs Sugdias the fields, Sugdias, with the huge scatters which with the river [Oxus]. This at a distance of Hemodius widely destroys with the rampart of the mountain, and through the luxuriant exalted immediately the fields Caspia relying on defeats with the wave: Which extends the bone of this river, dreadful inhabit the banks Iaxartas. To stretch not the any of these will have vied the bow: The circuit these and indeed the much draws, and heavy with the curves the weight belongs with the yew-trees, with the long the stings are with the iron, and I am moistened in the sinews just as of the ox. Thence are bloody Tocaruses, and O wild Phruruses, and inhospitable Sers inhabit the countries, with the flocks mixed together and the fleeces of the sheep and oxes through the woods Sers sylvan pick. The most far Epetrimuses the earth has: And at a distance that is the futile things of the strengths, with the nobodies of the cattle with the bleatings the fields leap about; To the herb widowed lies on all the earth, misses with the foliage; Nowhere the river inter-cuts the lands. With Caspia so many widely the tribes surround the seas. Now turned back from Colchas and bluish grey with Phasidas to the waves setting towards the sun the peoples you mention!, to the poetry, all the way into the male pharynxes of Threicius! You roughen! the first [Byzeron] is the tribe: Are dreadful thence Bechirs, O Macrons, with Phyliresqu and the persistent Durateum the tribe. Thence of Tibarenus, Chalybs above, the countries where of the iron causing wounds rich rattle with the high anvils. After these Assyrias are stretched the jugerums to the land, and with the Armenian yoke widely rising [Thermodon] is raised high into the ancient peaks Sinope. This city formerly, the fire of the great Jupiter, with Asopas the maiden, placing fierce near the borders to the land, has had the hall, and has said the folk with his/her/their about the name. Nor at a distance hence pure is rolled along the water Iris; And quick you keep away the running of Armenia with the valleys, with which rocky huge into the sea s/he/it inclines with Carambas, s/he/it pushes [Halys]: Then the long crops open Paphlagonus, and [Mariandinon] the tribe lives, from where the of three forms shore of the dog has revealed into the breezes you overcome formerly Alcids with Erebus: Near Bithynia the clod stretches forth: This widely is extended Rhebas of the river, Rhebas, [coeanei] which scatters the seas with the bridge, Rhebas, with the silver I may imitate which extends the wave. These surround the sea of the people. Now that may be sung the mouths to Asia, bluish grey washes which of the sea the agitation, with the axle the friends rapid into the pharynxes at a distance of Hellespontus, and the seas Egyptian foam which with the parts the souths, up to Arabas and long Syrian the borders to the land. The saying and indeed, how great stiff Scytha may spend towards the close. [Calchedon] the mound with the wave high surrounded afar Europe and observes the tall fortifications to Byza: From the back Bebrycia stretches the clod, and high cloud capped raises on high the heights of the cliff Mysus the field: Mysuses Tacitus wide into the sea and the backs becoming yellow furrows [Cius]: Towards the wave of this pretty Hylas with the nymphs formerly has been the anxious concern. Hence into the blue colour goes Hellespontus of the bending, unfolds and Phrygia the crooked earth Minor; The ancestor with Sangarius widely is bound with the river. This at a distance the morning stars proceeds most into the axles, fertile of the herbs: Which bends the sky turned back into the shades the whirlpool, the backs Minoruses are spread out, which lies immeasurable widely under the cliffs [Idae], unfortunate reaching with the earth Troy. With Aeolas thence huge over Hellespontus of Aegaeus through the backs to the salt s/he/it extends. The luxuriant Ionum turned back the field is prolonged the clod: The huge wavy line cuts this, and salted destroying enters the fords of the whirlpool. Hand to hand here ice cold which breathe the breezes of the north-wind, the city Ephesus harsh raises on high the sanctuaries to Diana, the service the memorable Amazonidum; Nor less thence Lydia proceeding unfolds the long side with the east: Into which vine-bearing Molus extends the yokes of the citadel, and Pactolus bearing gold conducts the waters, the countries of the song leap about with the swans, the curves the bank thick sits on all those, with German farm-workers the grasses with the plains rise, and the herb luxuriating clothes the grounds always fat. But with the substantial more Maeandria the clod reclines with the breast, for you flatter! the wave of Caystrus moistens the land. With Maeonas this also escorts with the commotion the dancerses: With the bridle of a horse these chains bind under, with Iacchus of the rite is played, and hit with the wailings with the sacrifices the brightness; And the maidenly chorus widely resounds, the all meeting bursts forth, as unsteady you wander! hang the bodies fallow-deers: Of the north-west winds likewise the breezes with the god being a servant play with the rites into of the common people; The covers enter the silken these with the hedge, and with the west winds of the shock the cloaks are stirred. This leaving yet with German farm-worker I think in all respects [Lydo]. Xanthus conducts which with himself, is stretched of Lyciuses the mouths bent with the sea, the heights of Taurus to Pamphylia into the boundaries rise there: Here Cragus is had in name only it same under of the tribe: Near the high ancient you settle! s/he/it rises into the citadel: The chips of wood with the hot waters is worshiped in the altars often to Dionaea Venus: Corycus stands the deeps, stands with Perg near, vibrates the steep roofs with Phaselas afar, and with the rays of Phoebus the envious fire trembles. Thence the extent of Lycaonia lies: The active the fields the inhabitant hastens, black dreadful is thirsty the blood tribe of the men, and with the fierce are fed the breasts with the war. Then the wild Pisida exercises the fat gardens, and Telmissus hereafter the city projects, the citadel celebrated through the clouds projects elevating the fortifications with Lyrb, and Lacedaemonias rise the peaks Selgs. The most much hence enters the lands of the bending, and the wave far nearby with Euxinus pushes broken only of the earth. This dreadful Cilicas the footpath holds, is stretched you say! to the day emerging: Two rivers furrow the land, Pyramus here you gush, this has wished Pinarus the sea. Cydnus likewise sees middle the fortifications of Tarsus. Pegasus hangs up this formerly with the earth with himself, and I have impressed with the ground the steps lead vial dissolves; Might be as with the emblem thrown back into the ages always the name with the ground, clear after the most far with Bellerophontas. Thus the earth widely reveals Aleius the countries, and dreads with the hairs of the woods, had prolonged with the field through the inhospitable the seas of which separately the life. With Lyrnessusqu hereafter, this Malus and Anchialia, and bright with Solo after the songs of the nourished prophet. Near of Commagenuses s/he/it is poured out the mouths: And at a distance the limit into the axle is bent Hesperius, while may creep forth towards the citadels carrying pine trees of Casius. Hence clever Asia whole with the easy you capture! with the song. Indeed the form may be such of this to you: Four that vast into the sides to the heart given; More long but the manner may be with these, red which observe the rising of the star: And then you hold!, with the first concerning with the song the muse spoken, the whole Asia high to be girded with the whirlpool of Taurus the outsides into of Indians: Of the mountain yet you take! the mass through the side it to the leader, with which Little Bear gives the hoar-frosts: From the setting of the sun huge they have hastened Nile: The Indian from the morning stars they have boiled the sea, turned back from the south with the beyond measure waves of Rubrus the salt I have wished the seas. The shore Syrian of the curve sinking down the sea-shore of the shore into the friend and is stretched of the east from-oh the borders. This is with Coel with Graius under the name: Insomuch as with the two as the continual confined spaces, with the stakes in turn, the much is excavated. From the west wind Casius the mountain threatens: With the axle of the day rising likewise Libanus steep presses the countries. The part at a distance from the sea tills the lands, you say! with the retreat the tribe stirs: With the salted whichsoever is beaten from the agitation, Phoenicum the area is: These with Rubrus from the whirlpool formerly have moved the houses, and the chiefs through the seas borne have purified of the salts; The chiefs have taught the trades to Carinuses to bring with the bereft holes; The chiefs have protected the stars with the pole; With the peoples Phoenics therefore the city [Iope], and barren hereafter is inhabited with Elaas, and Gaza with the great men rising on all with the walls. Here Tyre is wealthy, and Berytus most good, Bybluses, and the homes of Sidonius; Where slipping with the beautiful stream of the watering earth Bostrenus splits the jugerums. Nor less this with Tripolas with the fat extends the grounds with the field; With Orthosisqu hereafter s/he/it is elevated: This Marathus stands. With the limit of the shore the head with the high towers raises with Laodic, and bluish grey the wave of the sea is pre-licked. Here well-wooded the places of Daphna are green, the high cypress-tree is raised, the odorous laurel connects the branchs, with the hair to Dionaeus the myrtle is poured out, high rise the ships, and the sky the hissings beat the oaks, [mollicomis] the earth is covered with the herbs. The city with the middles with Apamea hereafter stops in the countries, and which Phoebea at a distance the cradles first favour the light, Emesus shines the high peaks. For wide with the ground the side unfolds, and enters the breezes with the towers into the sky struggling: The inhabitant with the clear whets the heart with the eagernesses, the life conscientious wets the rank: Finally [flammicomo] devoted the breasts to Sun god stir the life: The frankincense swells out the leafy tops, and yet with these high they vie the peaks of the temple. This bluish grey tears Oronts near the earth, nor at a distance roving of Antiochus flows between the city, binding with the waves to Apamena the jugerums to the clod. The fertile this earth is prolonged, and the countries are friendly to the cattle, into with surrounding the easy Pomona appears again, and the fertile Ceres with the plain open becomes yellow. If turned back warm the way is bent into the south, the curves the bendings to Arab will climb the seas near. Insomuch as Arabas and to Syria of the suns of the bending that with the stream divides, and is inter-poured with the waves with the held at a distance: And yet the little bit is bent the morning stars into the axles all the way into warlike borders of the Elan turning. Hence the earth of Arabs reveals the plains with the earth, and is surrounded the sides from the twin salt; The Persian agitation besets this, and the serving bowl of Arabs moistens the land with the sea. With these his/her/their breezes with the pole breathe: For Persian with the east came s/he/it begins to swell, with the west wind the bending one boils. The part but into the chiefs which with himself own extends of the rising, and the friend rises up which cloud capped, is touched of Ocean with the sea of Rubrus; With the happy the land whole reclines with the ground: The earth this always smells strongly with the odorous earth: The myrrh rushes forth with the tearful post, with Myrrha I am raved formerly Cinyreius; Here the fleeces exert oneself the strength of the ladanum, the hair of the reed sprouts nourishing, the ground begets the cinnamon, the frankincenses through the fields thicken, and long with the fertile grows fat with the scents the shore. The true faith, he/it under the likeness of the thigh borne to have got broken Jupiter the inner places; The rising might project as sacred ethereal flashing with the front Lyaeus. With the being born Bacchus the father has ridiculed, on all the seat of the heaven-dwellers has flashed, and the festive day has stretched the pure archs: The earth rich has showered the scents; Of the shaggy hairs you enter s/he/it has swelled with the growths of the herd: The spring his/her/their the new grasses have had, with the crowded flower the land serving bowl stamps, and with the nymphs the wave more lavish has run: With the inward also at a distance on all from the shores the friendly bird with the god lavish has collected the amomum. Immediately Book binds under the breast of Ceres priest, and the ivy binds the vast hairs, elevates thence of the being green Bacchic wands, and with the fire of the flattering light the bone gladdens, and whole is poured out I may be concealed the brightness. But near Libanus Nabataeuses furrow the land, and of Chaulasius hereafter, of Agraeus turned back and thence with Hatramas the earth is: They constitute the neighbourhoods Persian of Maca with the stream: The red the neighbouring regions with the bridge Minaeuses and Sabatas hold; Above active the opportunity plows up the seas Cletauenus of the rich clod. The most much besides the tribe is encompassed he/it the shore of Arabs, dumb but the streams with the rumour wait, and the number obscure with the all: Thence [fauoni] which blow with the fertile feeds nourishing with the blowings the fields, the barbarian woman mountain-wandering the earth extends Erembas. These stir the life all with the hardships in the rocks, and the uncovered arms from-creep the steep places always the heights of the stones: Not with those the land bears the fodders into the use: The herbs gnaw off the clods fasting with the custom of the wild beasts, nor you propitiate with the any crops. Hence beyond Libanuses turned back the peaks high, the light with Hyperionius raises on high which with himself from the rising, the limit of the one Syria lies up to Sinope contiguous of the whirlpool; With the middles this active in the countries Cappadocum the tribe is: Near the swollen seas turned back Assyrians nearly are the doors with Thermodontas, and you hasten! you move the wave with the streams is disclosed. Nor at a distance, the fire of the torch eastern elevates which with himself, the most much to Euphrata flows I am melted: That spread out with the wild from Armenia stretches forth the huge head with the cave, you say! the notoriety the first is prolonged with the stream to the millstones; But early again inverted into the axles, s/he/it divides I thrust in the middle Babylon with the stream. Thence s/he/it falls the yokes near of Teredonia the most great into the sea of the Persian cliff with the scattered [effluus] with the river. This above, in seven how great way is picked the risings of the earth extended with the spaces, quick the seas prone with Tigras revolving, and the continual stones wrested with the heavenly, and draws whole widely with the swift with the stream the woods. That and the huge swamp with the middle is stretched with the field; The most great s/he/it cuts this with the wave to Tigras: Lake enters the backs of the area free from obstacles, the silent wave is astounded, and of the silent recline the seas with Thospitas; Of the solid finally with the custom of the banks of the pool the shape inscribed rests, and imported to himself confining on the other side stands the river the divided swamp. Thus with Elidas the inhabitant scatters the sea Alpheus: With the sea thus uninjured the river leading of the chosen to Arethusa inserts the waves. Therefore through and the pool is borne the swift river open, this the lapse likewise pushes the strength of the prone whirlpool. Not other so great snatches the attack; Not thus the any becomes foamy the waves, nor so great any the noises the wave moves. With the middle which earth is poured with the field, this with Interamnas holds the name; As the situation has placed that with the river twin girded through the area free from obstacleses. Not which woolly with the long the sheep trains with the field, or which the horn-bearing wanders through the countries of the flock I am led, which shepherd with the ogees petitions the grasses suitable with the she-goats, the each with the hole clever entrusts the seed-germs with the furrow, Pomona helps which, the oak tree allures which with the branchs high, and with the fat depending you may be been in heat [glando]; Which with the just rank of the vine distributes the arms of Nysaeus, or with the hidden if any active shapes the ash-trees, or with the open seas into the waves which the skiff the sailor weaves, will have scorned these woodland-pastures: The nothing lacking s/he/it subtracts the mouths: The rich I inter the earth, rich lies with the tree the earth. Into of that the northern whichsoever is prolonged of the field, Armenian and with the life of the hardship Matienuses furrow. Which are the breezes friends, Babylon is transferred with the tall citadel into the clouds: This ancient with Semiramas s/he/it has fortified the city with the walls, which not to spend to the flame, not the ram may be able to enter: Most great [Beli] with the each hall with the silver s/he/it stands, the house with the Indian tooth begins to shine, the gold covers the roofs, the gold protects the grounds widely. Him/it/theirself hereafter the earth, which is encompassed the city, and undergos spring rite of the palms with the wave of the tall, and shines with the shining at a distance with the beryl the sacrificial cakes. This yet with the inward Ophietidas of the citadel in the countries between the bearing seeds grows thick the sands. Hence Babylon above, twin on behalf of the boundaries the she-bears, Cissuses and Massabatas and Chalonita wander. But turned back to Armenia if any with the foot may go on from the citadel of the cliff, and may reveal into the shores eastern the going, Medica will observe luxuriant the powers through the fields. The ice cold which of these climb the wagons with Bootas, the fat countries hold: In that place Atropatenuses are, are to be borne and Marduses. The warm which turned back towards the purple dye inhabit the shore, Scythicas escort the seed-germs of the tribe. For Medea has been wild with those of the blood I am increased. This with Pandionas might compose the death to the hall, the earth grows fat the Attic which with the pretty with Ilissus, is emerged, you say! the exile is turned the flight quickly. S/he/it enters these after into the lands with the ship with Aeetin, and s/he/it has occupied the places: The nobody was belonging the ancients to constitute Colchuses with the trust of the chin; Finally from that of Meduses to the magic shoot the madness of the skill clings. The district of the tribe, which of Phoebus observes red into the risings, inhabits the stones, forges [narcissiten] with the stones: Which near the thorn bushs and the well-wooded countries wander, into the cattle eager, with the thick with the flock the pastures cut. The clover showers the so great himself the clod through the fields, Caspia in order that touches with the earth with the extended the bolts. This to Asia you distribute! the doors, the gate as if may be open-mouthed which there with the mouth, and the crossroad may depart long into the shores. The door is spread out with Hyrcanas hence; The Persian door hence extends, rain-bringing which inclines the universe into the purple dye. Behold under the immeasurable with the whirlpool of the gates of Parthian the countries hold, of the curve in vain with the use of the ploughshare disturbing to himself; Not with those the concern and the effort, the seas of the lands with the heavy to compose with the drag-hoes: They exercise you rage! himself always into the arms of Mars. The dagger the comrade to the side is, the hand but brandishes the spears, drop the quivers with the upper arms and the deadly bow always belongs struck: Nor through the gains they reveal dreadful the souls; Not with the sterns the seas furrow: Not prone with the flocks of the cattle the wild life is helped. But the running of the horses shakes the grounds of Mercuries always, and the beaten land moans: Stings wander repeatedly through the breezes, with the throwable widely the air is covered below. That also after these the love is if to learn the like Persians, [solersque] draws with you concern through the circle; Will form these with the each muse to you with the song the lands, the way of the river may travel downstream which clear, and in order that of the yokes the whirlpool rises, with which shores the countries barbarian may recline, famous which Persian may reinforce used. Obviously the chiefs of the Asian wait of the areas. The wealthy life with the tribe, attends to the all men the treasures with the each land, and lavish with the peoples is revealed the time. The rich man in these the custom is now long with the time of the age, out of which have rubbed Maeonia with the war bloody. The garments mock with the gold, and the all are covered the members with the men with the gold, with the gold the steps put: The so great of Persians unlooses the breasts luxury. Him/it/theirself but the earth is included with the high mountains, on all into the southern more in-inclining side the axle, and northern far, abandons far with the each Caspia the bolts, and gentle of the friend is overspread the breeze. Of that but with the spaces the Persian agitation gives the boundary, and is lived with the peoples with the three of the suns. One under the close the part conducts, with the squires too the neighbouring regions with Medas: S/he/it wanders the others through the backs of the middle earth: Again towards the breezes of the friend, the sea near, waits the third. Of Persia, and stiff slipping they bend the banks. Cyrus cuts the countries, breaks through the countries Coasps, Indian rolling along at a distance the seas: Towards the wave of which the inhabitant being yellow-coloured with the eagerness pursues [achatem]. For with the wintry the rainstorms have fallen to settle, with the rains and sky spread out more enlarged river raves, the river draws them stones widely: On all the surrounding earth hereafter of German farm-worker is green with the breast of the plain. But which blue the bending Persian inflicts the wave, the tribe of Carmanuses widely tills: The rising of the torch burns this to Phoebea; With the so great each is poured with the field, as likewise and bluish grey may touch the agitation of the whirlpool, and at a distance inward s/he/it may crawl through the jugerums to the land. These above and the earth stretches Gedrosia nearby the clod of Ocean with the seas; But the river towards Indian and the neighbour with the south dwells near the side of Aurora with the mild Scytha: The southern surely Scytha is said that: Insomuch as other are beaten from above the hardships I compress. Indian to Caucasia rushing forth from the cave of the cliff the obstacle with the sea of Rubrus at a distance of the sea extends the river, you say! the notoriety with the right flows with the stream of the waters. The mouths hereafter with Indian two are, and the middle through the field the island with the huge himself pours with the back with Patalen. The innumerable he/it same separates the tribes with the river, Oritas and Aribas and the swift Arachotas, and Satra faithless, or which through the inhospitable widely separate with the peoples, separate with the boundaries of the field the countries stir, with the one but in name only Arienuses are. These whichsoever barren may hasten always the sands, the services nor may pick wax light-al, nor you renew! with the wine or oil-press the unfermented grape juices may press, tawny yet living the trades have discovered with the coral to spread out, to ask pretty the subterfuges of Sapphirus and the very hard steels. O Calliopus, we may sing the peoples and the powers of Indians. The most far the earth of the lands is sprinkled with the waves of Indian of Ocean; The first this with the rays the sun cooks, the sun Hyperionius, the sun great with the gratitude of the universe, the father of the stars, the sower and the vigour of the light to the brightness. But with the tribe of Indians the foul colour: [efflua] always with these the hair being livid imitates the hyacinths with the hair. In the subterfuges of the lands the metals may remove cautiously: The district they decide the webs, and the garments linen work: The part of Indian manages [segmina] failing, and the ivory stays awake: The much, the winter increases which rivers with the rainstorms, huge in order that widely the cavity draws the stream of the waters, and high the seas may overcome the banks, scattering fall the beryl, the prone streams which at a distance with the inward from the boundaries, or will have conveyed the steel: With these bluish grey hereafter is turned the jasper. Nor less and the others near the marbles with the curves forge the berries with the mollusks: The part turned back with the rich concern of the grassy stone digs the blood-vessels: And these with the redness flattering ask poured in with the plains the amethysts. Indeed the rich man of these the earth is Indian always, and with the such worry the earth swells: With the rivers but fertile with the watering frequently s/he/it is pre-licked the mouths: High you wander! widely they extend the arms to the light, and the hair undergos spring rite of the woods always. Now to you the form free of the lands, now with the song I will speak the rivers, now the stiff mountains, now to the much finally of the tribe I will free the peoples. The sides with the fields on all in Indians four you hold! to be: May collect so many and the angles from the all part to himself, sideways closing the outsides to the land, as the appearance is with the turbot. About the parts of the west wind, Indian with the meeting of the whirlpool happens reliable boundary to the shore: With the axle of the friend, of Rubrus widely with the open seas the wave lies exposed: The river likewise happens Gangs you may file to the eastern earth; And with Lycaonia Caucasus rises I compress. With the sea which with the spindle is rolled along the water Indian, Dardanidum the tribe is, where great drinks Hydasps fallen down the sum of the stones with the mass [Acesinen]. The third river likewise cuts Cofs of the field you come! near; Into and with the middle Sabas are with the earth: The tribe likewise of Sodrus near conducts; And the peoples hereafter just as with the rank made exercise Peucaleus long with the ploughshare the lands. Gargaridas turned back: The tribe the liable this with Bacchus, and furrow the clod, and with the rites the orgieses play. This with Hypanas and widely drawing the roving backs [Cymander], with the cliff at a distance tawny they roll along the gold with the waves: Nor less these enter the plains with Gangetidas to the shore, which through the breezes of the notoriety with the spindle is stretched with the field, all the way into the high lying you keep away the borders with Colidas. With the distaffs and him/it/theirself hereafter inclines into the sea of Ocean of sea-fishes, and enters with the so great yoke the breezes of the ether, transferred of the nourishments may prevent as with the cliff the flight. But about [Gangen] the area is devoted with Lyaeus, and of the continuous such sacrifice the origin is told. Into the peoples of Indians the deadlines Book was conducting the battles: With the snakeish widely Bellona with the whip rebukes, and with the great have trembled the powers with the fear, with the pursuing god. Comes therefore towards the rivers to Gangas, and with the sacred running about Book prepares the battles. Bacchantes immediately spotted with Ceres priests exchange the use with the round shields, and with the fresh the spears with Bacchic wand climb; Hurrying the linens of Baccha loosen the chains, have bound with the dragon with the foul-smelling the breast; On behalf of the soft band the venomous water-snakes creep forth with the hair; And I cause wild leaps about in the stream Mars: The leader snatches the eagle-standards into the wars, the Indian firmly planted earth with the foot trembles, and with the whole have thundered the war-trumpets with the sky. Therefore and the tribe duly of the retreat learns Nysaeuses, and stood I disturb they escort the orgieses with the rite. Him/it/theirself hereafter dreadful as Book has struck Indians, the conqueror of Hemodus mounts the citadels of the whirlpool, and vast with the ground the tribe at a distance observes all: The most within the steps of the yoke standing out with the whirlpool will sing. Of Ocean from-oh I try in advance finally Bacchus with the shore, and the limits of the lands the conqueror into the mouths, leads crowned with laurel after the Indian wars the triumphs, raises and you double the columns with the boundary of the earth, and watches over hereafter the wave of Ismenus of the river. The rumour through the circle entrusts these only the tribes. The cheap the common people of the other, of the cattle in turn, the backs wander through of the downcast earth: Not with these or with the strong glory with the borne hand s/he/it is, or you brighten! the metals of the lands to the blood-vessels have borne the glory: Unknown of the places always the in-without rumours inhabit, through the inhospitable the countries at a distance wait, with the nobodies worthy are finally with the muses. But you, O Phoebus the father, the clear you with the commotion, to the poetry, of the name, with Aonius the rumour inspiredly to the effort.
