[12] γειτνιᾷ δὲ τῇ Σουσίδι τῆς Βαβυλωνίας ἡ Σιτακηνὴ μὲν πρότερον Ἀπολλωνιᾶτις δὲ ὕστερον προσαγορευθεῖσα. ἀπὸ τῶν ἄρκτων δ᾽ ὑπέρκεινται ἀμφοῖν πρὸς ἕω Ἐλυμαῖοί τε καὶ Παραιτακηνοί, λῃστρικοὶ ἄνδρες καὶ ὀρεινῇ τραχείᾳ πεποιθότες: μᾶλλον δ᾽ οἱ Παραιτακηνοὶ τοῖς Ἀπολλωνιάταις ἐπίκεινται, ὥστε καὶ χεῖρον ἐκείνους διατιθέασιν. οἱ δὲ Ἐλυμαῖοι κἀκείνοις καὶ τοῖς Σουσίοις, τούτοις δὲ καὶ οἱ Οὔξιοι προσπολεμοῦσιν: ἧττον δὲ νῦν, ὡς εἰκός, διὰ τὴν τῶν Παρθυαίων ἰσχύν, ὑφ᾽ οἷς εἰσιν ἅπαντες οἱ ταύτῃ. εὖ μὲν οὖν πραττόντων ἐκείνων, εὖ πράττουσιν ἅπαντες καὶ οἱ ὑπήκοοι αὐτῶν: στασιαζόντων δέ, ὅπερ συμβαίνει πολλάκις, καὶ δὴ καὶ ἐφ᾽ ἡμῶν, ἄλλοτ᾽ ἄλλως συμβαίνει καὶ οὐ τὰ αὐτὰ πᾶσι: τοῖς μὲν γὰρ συνήνεγκεν ἡ [p. 1021] ταραχή, τοῖς δὲ παρὰ γνώμην ἀπήντησεν. ἡ μὲν δὴ χώρα ἥ τε Περσὶς καὶ ἡ Σουσιανὴ τοιαύτη.
