Through this land flow four navigable rivers which must be passed by ferries, first the Tigris [47.416,31] (river), AsiaTigris, then a second and a third of the same name, yet not the same stream nor flowing from the same source. The first-mentioned of them flows from the Armenians and the second from the Matieni.

The fourth river is called Gyndes, that Gyndes which Cyrus parted once into three hundred and sixty channels.[*](Cp. Hdt. 1.189.)
