[19] παράκειται δὲ τῇ Σάμῳ νῆσος Ἰκαρία ἀφ᾽ ἧς τὸ Ἰκάριον πέλαγος. αὕτη δ᾽ ἐπώνυμός ἐστιν Ἰκάρου παιδὸς τοῦ Δαιδάλου, ὅν φασι τῷ πατρὶ κοινωνήσαντα τῆς φυγῆς, ἡνίκα ἀμφότεροι πτερωθέντες ἀπῆραν ἐκ [p. 892] Κρήτης, πεσεῖν ἐνθάδε μὴ κρατήσαντα τοῦ δρόμου: μετεωρισθέντι γὰρ πρὸς τὸν ἥλιον ἐπὶ πλέον περιρρυῆναι τὰ πτερὰ τακέντος τοῦ κηροῦ. τριακοσίων δ᾽ ἐστὶ τὴν περίμετρον σταδίων ἡ νῆσος ἅπασα καὶ ἀλίμενος πλὴν ὑφόρμων, ὧν ὁ κάλλιστος Ἱστοὶ λέγονται: ἄκρα δ᾽ ἐστὶν ἀνατείνουσα πρὸς ζέφυρον. ἔστι δὲ καὶ Ἀρτέμιδος ἱερὸν καλούμενον Ταυροπόλιον ἐν τῇ νήσῳ καὶ πολισμάτιον Οἰνόη, καὶ ἄλλο Δράκανον ὁμώνυμον τῇ ἄκρᾳ ἐφ᾽ ᾗ ἵδρυται, πρόσορμον ἔχον: ἡ δὲ ἄκρα διέχει τῆς Σαμίων ἄκρας τῆς Κανθαρίου καλουμένης ὀγδοήκοντα σταδίους, ὅπερ ἐστὶν ἐλάχιστον δίαρμα τὸ μεταξύ. νυνὶ μέντοι λιπανδροῦσαν Σάμιοι νέμονται τὰ πολλὰ βοσκημάτων χάριν.
