[18] μετὰ δὲ τὴν σύρτιν Ζοῦχις ἔστι λίμνη σταδίων [p. 1165] τετρακοσίων στενὸν ἔχουσα εἴσπλουν καὶ παρ᾽ αὐτὴν πόλις ὁμώνυμος πορφυροβαφεῖα ἔχουσα καὶ ταριχείας παντοδαπάς: εἶτ᾽ ἄλλη λίμνη πολὺ ἐλάττων: καὶ μετὰ ταύτην Ἀβρότονον πόλις καὶ ἄλλαι τινές, συνεχῶς δὲ Νεάπολις, ἣν καὶ Λέπτιν καλοῦσιν: ἐντεῦθεν δ᾽ ἐστὶ δίαρμα τὸ Λοκρῶν τῶν Ἐπιζεφυρίων τρισχίλιοι ἑξακόσιοι στάδιοι. ἑξῆς δ᾽ ἐστὶ Κίνυψ ποταμός: καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα διατείχισμά τι, ὃ ἐποίησαν Καρχηδόνιοι γεφυροῦντες βάραθρά τινα εἰς τὴν χώραν ἀνέχοντα: εἰσὶ δὲ καὶ ἀλίμενοί τινες ἐνταῦθα τόποι, τῆς ἄλλης παραλίας ἐχούσης λιμένας: εἶτ᾽ ἄκρα ὑψηλὴ καὶ ὑλώδης, ἀρχὴ τῆς μεγάλης σύρτεως, καλοῦσι δὲ Κεφαλάς: εἰς ταύτην δὲ τὴν ἄκραν ἐκ Καρχηδόνος στάδιοί εἰσι μικρῷ πλείους τῶν πεντακισχιλίων.
