10 King Spadagas, who received his kingdom from You. As far as Aparus our coure lay Eatward, on the right ide of the Euxine ea. Aparus appears to me to terminate the Pontus, when we etimate its greatet length.

From thence our coure was Northerly to the river Chobus, and from thence to Singames. From Singames we turned to the left ide of the Pontus as far as the river Hippus; and from thence to Atelephus and Diocurias, where we had a view of Mount Caucaus, the height of which is much the ame with that of the Celtic Alps. The highet point of the mountain called Strobilus is viible here, where Prometheus is fabled to have been upended by Vulcan, according to the commands of Jupiter.

The ditances of the places from one another, that lie between the Thracian Boporus and Trapezus, are as follows. The temple of Jupiter Urius is ditant from Byzantium an hundred and twenty tadia. The Thracian Boporus is, as You know, the narrowet of the mouths of the Pontus, through which it dicharges itelf into the Propontis. The river Rhebas lies on the right hand of thoe who ail from the temple above mentioned, and is at the ditance of ninety tadia from it. From the river Rhebas to Acra Melæna is one hundred and fifty tadia. From Acra Melæna to the river Artanes, where there is a harbour for mall veels near a temple of Venus, is one hundred and fifty tadia. From the river Artanes to Pilis, where mall veels may lie afely under the helter of a projecting rock, not far from the mouths of the river, an hundred and fifty tadia. From Pilis to the port of Calpe two hundred and ten tadia. Xenophon
