Histories

Aristagoras of Miletus [27.3,37.5] (Perseus) Miletus accordingly spoke the truth to Cleomenes the Lacedaemonian when he said that the journey inland was three months long. If anyone should desire a more exact measurement, I will give him that too, for the journey from +Ephesus [27.316,37.916] (deserted settlement), Izmir Ili, Ege kiyilari, Turkey, Asia Ephesus to Sardis [28.0167,38.475] (Perseus) Sardis must be added to the rest.

So, then, from the Greek sea to Shush [48.333,32.2] (inhabited place), Khuzestan, Iran, AsiaSusa, which is the city called Memnonian, it is a journey of fourteen thousand and forty stages, for there are five hundred and forty furlongs from +Ephesus [27.316,37.916] (deserted settlement), Izmir Ili, Ege kiyilari, Turkey, Asia Ephesus to Sardis [28.0167,38.475] (Perseus) Sardis. The three months' journey is accordingly made longer by three days.
