καὶ ἐν τῷ Καρπαθίῳ δ᾽ εἰσὶ πολλαὶ τῶν Σποράδων μεταξὺ τῆς Κῶ μάλιστα καὶ Ῥόδου καὶ Κρήτης: ὧν εἰσιν Ἀστυπάλαιά τε καὶ Τῆλος καὶ Χαλκία καὶ ἃς Ὅμηρος ὀνομάζει ἐν τῷ καταλόγῳ“ οἳ δ᾽ ἄρα Νίσυρόν τ᾽ εἶχον Κράπαθόν τε Κάσον τε,
καὶ Κῶν, Εὐρυπύλοιο πόλιν, νήσους τε Καλύδνας.
”1ἔξω γὰρ τῆς Κῶ καὶ τῆς Ῥόδου, περὶ ὧν ἐροῦμεν ὕστερον, τάς τε ἄλλας ἐν ταῖς Σποράσι τίθεμεν καὶ δὴ καὶ ἐνταῦθα μεμνήμεθα αὐτῶν, καίπερ τῆς Ἀσίας οὐ τῆς Εὐρώπης ἐγγὺς οὐσῶν, ἐπειδὴ τῇ Κρήτῃ καὶ ταῖς Κυκλάσι καὶ τὰς Σποράδας συμπεριλαβεῖν ἠπείγετό πως ὁ λόγος: ἐν δὲ τῇ τῆς Ἀσίας περιοδείᾳ τὰς προσεχεῖς αὐτῇ τῶν ἀξιολόγων νήσων προσπεριοδεύσομεν, Κύπρον καὶ Ῥόδον καὶ Κῶν καὶ τὰς ἐν τῇ ἐφεξῆς παραλίᾳ κειμένας, Σάμον [p. 687] Χίον Λέσβον Τένεδον: νῦν δὲ τὰς Σποράδας ὧν ἄξιον μνησθῆναι λοιπὸν ἔπιμεν.
