[3] ὡς δὲ ταῦτα ὅμως ἐκράτησε, χῶμα ἔγνω χωννύναι ἐκ τῆς ἠπείρου ὡς ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν. ἔστι δὲ πορθμὸς τεναγώδης τὸ χωρίον καὶ τὰ μὲν πρὸς τῇ ἠπείρῳ τῆς θαλάσσης βραχέα καὶ πηλώδη αὐτοῦ, τὰ δὲ πρὸς αὐτῇ τῇ πόλει, ἵνα τὸ βαθύτατον τοῦ διάπλου, τριῶν μάλιστα [p. 85] ὀργυιῶν τὸ βάθος. ἀλλὰ λίθων τε πολλῶν ἀφθονία ἦν καὶ ὕλης, ἥντινα τοῖς λίθοις ἄνωθεν ἐπεφόρουν, χάρακές τε οὐ χαλεπῶς κατεπήγνυντο ἐν τῷ πηλῷ καὶ αὐτὸς ὁ πηλὸς ξύνδεσμος τοῖς λίθοις ἐς τὸ ἐπιμένειν ἐγίγνετο.
