[13] τοιοῦτος μὲν ὁ τούτων βίος: δυναστεύονται δὲ καὶ οὗτοι ὑπὸ τῶν καλουμένων Σκηπτούχων; καὶ αὐτοὶ δὲ οὗτοι ὑπὸ τυράννοις ἢ βασιλεῦσίν εἰσιν. οἱ γοῦν Ἡνίοχοι τέτταρας εἶχον βασιλέας, ἡνίκα Μιθριδάτης ὁ Εὐπάτωρ φεύγων ἐκ τῆς προγονικῆς εἰς Βόσπορον διῄει τὴν χώραν αὐτῶν: καὶ αὕτη μὲν ἦν πορεύσιμος αὐτῷ, τῆς δὲ τῶν Ζυγῶν ἀπογνοὺς διά τε δυσχερείας καὶ ἀγριότητας τῇ παραλίᾳ χαλεπῶς ᾔει, τὰ πολλὰ ἐμβαίνων ἐπὶ τὴν θάλατταν, ἕως ἐπὶ τὴν τῶν Ἀχαιῶν ἧκε: καὶ προσλαβόντων τούτων ἐξετέλεσε τὴν ὁδὸν τὴν ἐκ Φάσιδος οὐ πολὺ τῶν τετρακισχιλίων λείπουσαν σταδίων.
