Histories

The very name +Po [12.5,44.966] (river), Italy, Europe Eridanus betrays itself as not a foreign but a Greek name, invented by some poet; nor for all my diligence have I been able to learn from one who has seen it that there is a sea beyond Europe (continent)Europe. All we know is that our tin and amber come from the most distant parts.

But in the north of Europe (continent)Europe there is by far the most gold. In this matter again I cannot say with assurance how the gold is produced, but it is said that one-eyed men called Arimaspians steal it from griffins.
