§1 Τραπεζουντίοις μέν, καθάπερ καὶ Ξενοφῶν λέγει, Κόλχοι ὅμοροι. καὶ οὓς λέγει τοὺς μαχιμωτάτους καὶ ἐχθροτάτους εἶναι τοῖς Τραπεζουντίοις, ἐκεῖνος μὲν Δρίλας ὀνομάζει, ἐμοὶ δὲ δοκοῦσιν οἱ Σάννοι οὗτοι εἶναι. καὶ γὰρ μαχιμώτατοί εἰσιν ἐς τοῦτο ἔτι καὶ τοῖς Τραπεζουντίοις ἐχθρότατοι, καὶ χωρία ὀχυρὰ οἰκοῦσιν, ἔθνος ἀβασίλευτον καὶ πάλαι
§2 μὲν καὶ φόρου ὑποτελὲς Ῥωμαίοις, ὑπὸ δὲ τοῦ λῃστεύειν οὐκ ἀκριβοῦσιν τὴν ἀποφοράν. ἀλλὰ νῦν γε διδόντος θεοῦ ἀκριβώσουσιν, ἢ ἐξελοῦμεν αὐτούς. τούτων δὲ ἔχονται Μάκρωνες καὶ Ἡνίοχοι· βασιλεὺς δʼ αὐτῶν Ἀγχίαλος. Μακρώνων δὲ καὶ Ἡνιόχων ἐχόμενοι Ζυδρεῖται· Φαρασμάνου οὗτοι ὑπήκοοι. Ζυδρειτῶν δὲ Λαζοί· βασιλεὺς δὲ Λαζῶν Μαλάσσας, ὃς τὴν βασιλείαν παρὰ σοῦ ἔχει. Λαζῶν δὲ Ἀψίλαι ἔχονται· βασιλεὺς
§3 δὲ αὐτῶν Ἰουλιανός· οὗτος, ἐκ τοῦ πατρὸς τοῦ σοῦ τὴν βασιλείαν ἔχει. Ἀψίλαις δὲ ὅμοροι Ἀβασκοί· καὶ Ἀβασκῶν βασιλεὺς Ῥησμάγας· καὶ οὗτος παρὰ σοῦ τὴν βασιλείαν ἔχει. Ἀβασκῶν δὲ ἐχόμενοι Σανίγαι, ἵναπερ καὶ ἡ Σεβαστόπολις ᾤκισται· Σανιγῶν βασιλεὺς Σπαδάγας ἐκ σοῦ τὴν βασιλείαν ἔχει. — μέχρι μὲν δὴ
§4 Άψάρου ὡς πρὸς ἕω ἐπλέομεν ἐν δεξιᾷ τοῦ Εὐξείνου, ὁ δὲ Ἄψαρος πέρας ἐφάνη μοι εἶναι κατὰ μῆκος τοῦ Πόντου· ἔνθεν γὰρ ἤδη πρὸς ἄρκτον ὁ πλοῦς ἡμῖν ἐγίγνετο ἔστε ἐπὶ Χῶβον ποταμόν, καὶ ὑπὲρ τὸν Χῶβον ἐπὶ τὸν Σιγγάμην. ἀπὸ δὲ Σιγγάμου ἐκάμπτομεν ἐς τὴν λαιὰν πλευρὰν τοῦ Πόντου ἔστε ἐπὶ τὸν Ἵππον ποταμόν.
§5 ἀπὸ δὲ τοῦ Ἵππου ὡς ἐπʼ Ἀστέλεφον καὶ Διοσκουριάδα κατείδομεν τὸν Καύκασον τὸ ὄρος, τὸ ὕψος μάλιστα κατὰ τὰς Ἄλπεις τὰς Κελτικάς. καὶ τοῦ Καυκάσου κορυφή τις ἐδείκνυτο — στρόβιλος τῇ κορυφῇ ὄνομα —, ἵναπερ ὁ Προμηθεὺς κρεμασθῆναι ὑπὸ Ἡφαίστου κατὰ πρόσταξιν Διὸς μυθεύεται.

The Editor

Rudolf Hercher (1821–1878) was a German classical scholar who edited a wide range of Greek prose texts for the Teubner series, including the Greek epistolographers and several volumes of Greek historians. His output was prodigious, and while some of his editions have been superseded, many remain the most recent critical text available for minor Greek prose authors.

About This Edition

Hercher's Teubner editions, produced during the mid-19th century, provide critical texts of Greek prose authors — many of whom have received little editorial attention since. The editions are characterised by a thorough apparatus criticus and occasionally bold emendation. For many of the texts Hercher edited, no more recent critical edition exists.
