[5] ὅμως δ᾽ ἐφ᾽ ὅσον εἰκάζειν οἷόν τε, τῆς μὲν Βιθυνίας μέσην ἄν τις θείη καὶ τῆς ἐκβολῆς τοῦ Αἰσήπου τὴν Μυσίαν, ἁπτομένην τῆς θαλάττης καὶ διήκουσαν μέχρι τοῦ Ὀλύμπου σχεδόν τι παντός: κύκλῳ δὲ τὴν Ἐπίκτητον κειμένην ἐν τῇ μεσογαία, θαλάττης [p. 793] οὐδαμοῦ ἁπτομένην διατείνουσαν δὲ μέχρι τῶν ἑῴων μερῶν τῆς Ἀσκανίας λίμνης τε καὶ χώρας: ὁμωνύμως γὰρ τῇ λίμνῃ καὶ ἡ χώρα ἐλέγετο, καὶ ἦν αὐτῆς τὸ μὲν Φρύγιον τὸ δὲ Μύσιον ἀπωτέρω δὲ τῆς Τροίας τὸ Φρύγιον. καὶ δὴ καὶ οὕτω δεκτέον τὸ παρὰ τῷ ποιητῇ ὅταν φῇ “ Φόρκυς δ᾽ αὖ Φρύγας ἦγε καὶ Ἀσκάνιος θεοειδής,
τῆλ᾽ ἐξ Ἀσκανίης,
”1 τῆς Φρυγιακῆς, ὡς οὔσης ἐγγυτέρω ἄλλης Ἀσκανίας Μυσιακῆς τῆς πρὸς τῇ νῦν Νικαίᾳ, ἧς μέμνηται ὅταν φῇ “ Πάλμυν τ᾽ Ἀσκάνιόν τε Μόρυν θ᾽, υἷ᾽ Ἱπποτίωνος,

”2 οὐ θαυμαστὸν δ᾽ εἰ τῶν Φρυγῶν εἰπών τινα ἡγεμόνα Ἀσκάνιον καὶ ἐξ Ἀσκανίας ἥκοντα, καὶ Μυσῶν τινα λέγει ἡγεμόνα Ἀσκάνιον καὶ ἐξ Ἀσκανίας ἥκοντα: πολλὴ γὰρ ἡ ὁμωνυμία παρ᾽ αὐτῷ καὶ ἡ ἀπὸ τῶν ποταμῶν καὶ λιμνῶν καὶ χωρίων ἐπίκλησις.
