The “city of Carcine” lay at the eastern end of the Scythian coast, close to the Tauric Chersonese ( +Krym [34,45] (autonomous republic), Ukraine, Europe Crimea). The Racecourse of Achilles was a strip of land, now broken into islands, about 80 miles long, between the +Krym [34,45] (autonomous republic), Ukraine, Europe Crimea and the mouth of the +Dnepr (river), Europe Dnieper.) which rises from a lake, and flowing through the midst of the nomadic Scythians flows out near the city of Carcine, bordering on its right the Woodland and the region called the Racecourse of Achilles .

The seventh river, the Gerrhus, separates from the +Dnepr (river), Europe Borysthenes at about the place which is the end of our knowledge of that river; at this place it separates, and has the same name as the place itself, Gerrhus; then in its course to the sea it divides the country of the Nomads and the country of the Royal Scythians, and empties into the Hypacuris.
