Histories

These are the tribes by the Hypanis river,[*](The Bug.) west of the +Dnepr (river), Europe Borysthenes. But on the other side of the +Dnepr (river), Europe Borysthenes, the tribe nearest to the sea is the tribe of the Woodlands; and north of these live Scythian farmers, whom the Greek colonists on the Hypanis river (who call themselves Olbiopolitae) call Borystheneïtae.

These farming Scythians inhabit a land stretching east a three days' journey to a river called Panticapes,[*](Not identified.) and north as far as an eleven days' voyage up the +Dnepr (river), Europe Borysthenes; and north of these the land is desolate for a long way;

after the desolation is the country of the Man-eaters, who are a nation apart and by no means Scythian; and beyond them is true desolation, where no nation of men lives, as far as we know.
