[3] ᾿ενίσταται δ᾽ ὁ Ποσειδώνιος τῷ Πολυβίῳ, διότι φησὶ τὴν ὑπὸ τῷ ἰσημερινῷ οἴκησιν ὑψηλοτάτην: οὐδὲν γὰρ εἶναι κατὰ τὴν σφαιρικὴν ἐπιφάνειαν ὕψος διὰ τὴν ὁμαλότητα, οὐδὲ δὴ ὀρεινὴν εἶναι τὴν ὑπὸ τῷ ἰσημερινῷ, ἀλλὰ μᾶλλον πεδιάδα ἰσόπεδόν πως τῇ ἐπιφανείᾳ τῆς θαλάττης: τοὺς δὲ πληροῦντας τὸν Νεῖλον ὄμβρους ἐκ τῶν Αἰθιοπικῶν ὀρῶν συμβαίνειν. ταῦτα δ᾽ εἰπὼν ἐνταῦθα ἐν ἄλλοις συγχωρεῖ, φήσας ὑπονοεῖν [p. 130] ὄρη εἶναι τὰ ὑπὸ τῷ ἰσημερινῷ, πρὸς ἃ ἑκατέρωθεν ἀπὸ τῶν εὐκράτων ἀμφοῖν προσπίπτοντα τὰ νέφη ποιεῖν τοὺς ὄμβρους. αὕτη μὲν οὖν ἡ ἀνομολογία φανερά: ἀλλὰ καὶ δοθέντος τοῦ ὀρεινὴν εἶναι τὴν ὑπὸ τῷ ἰσημερινῷ, ἄλλη τις ἀνακύπτειν ἂν δόξειεν: οἱ γὰρ αὐτοὶ σύρρουν φασὶν εἶναι τὸν ὠκεανόν. πῶς οὖν ὄρη κατὰ μέσον ἱδρύουσιν αὐτόν; πλὴν εἰ νήσους τινὰς βούλονται λέγειν. ὅπως δὲ δή ποτε τοῦτ᾽ ἔχει, τῆς γεωγραφικῆς μερίδος ἔξω πίπτει: δοτέον δ᾽ ἴσως τῷ προθεμένῳ τὴν περὶ ὠκεανοῦ πραγματείαν ταῦτ᾽ ἐξετάζειν.
