[2] ἐν ἀριστερᾷ δὲ τούτοις ἀντιπαράκειται τὰ Σκυθικὰ ἔθνη καὶ τὰ νομαδικὰ ἅπασαν ἐκπληροῦντα τὴν [p. 718] βόρειον πλευράν. οἱ μὲν δὴ πλείους τῶν Σκυθῶν ἀπὸ τῆς Κασπίας θαλάττης ἀρξάμενοι Δᾶαι προσαγορεύονται, τοὺς δὲ προσεῴους τούτων μᾶλλον Μασσαγέτας καὶ Σάκας ὀνομάζουσι, τοὺς δ᾽ ἄλλους κοινῶς μὲν Σκύθας ὀνομάζουσιν ἰδίᾳ δ᾽ ὡς ἑκάστους: ἅπαντες δ᾽ ὡς ἐπὶ τὸ πολὺ νομάδες. μάλιστα δὲ γνώριμοι γεγόνασι τῶν νομάδων οἱ τοὺς Ἕλληνας ἀφελόμενοι τὴν Βακτριανήν, Ἄσιοι καὶ Πασιανοὶ καὶ Τόχαροι καὶ Σακάραυλοι, ὁρμηθέντες ἀπὸ τῆς περαίας τοῦ Ἰαξάρτου τῆς κατὰ Σάκας καὶ Σογδιανούς, ἣν κατεῖχον Σάκαι. καὶ τῶν Δαῶν οἱ μὲν προσαγορεύονται Ἄπαρνοι οἱ δὲ Ξάνθιοι οἱ δὲ Πίσσουροι. οἱ μὲν οὖν Ἄπαρνοι πλησιαίτατα τῇ Ὑρκανίᾳ παράκεινται καὶ τῇ κατ᾽ αὐτὴν θαλάττῃ, οἱ δὲ λοιποὶ διατείνουσι καὶ μέχρι τῆς ἀντιπαρηκούσης τῇ Ἀρίᾳ.
