Histories

From the Sindic region to Themiscura on the Thermodon river (the greatest width of the +Black Sea [38,42] (sea) Pontus) it is a voyage of three days and two nights; that is, of three hundred and thirty thousand orguiai, or three thousand three hundred stades.

Thus have I measured the +Black Sea [38,42] (sea) Pontus and the Karadeniz Bogazi (strait), Istanbul, Marmara, Turkey, AsiaBosporus and Canakkale Bogazi (strait), Canakkale, Marmara, Turkey, Asia Hellespont, and they are as I have said. Furthermore, a lake is seen issuing into the +Black Sea [38,42] (sea) Pontus and not much smaller than the sea itself; it is called the Maeetian lake, and the mother of the +Black Sea [38,42] (sea) Pontus.
