The length of the peninsula [Note] which projects between the
Euxine and Lake Mæotis, is not more than sixty-seven miles and a half, and the width across never less than two jugera: [Note] it has the name of Eion. [Note] The shores of the Bosporus then take a curve both on the side of Europe and of Asia, thus forming the Mæotis. The towns at the entrance of the Bosporus are, first Hermonassa, [Note] next Cepi, [Note] founded by the Milesians, and then Stratoclia and Phanagoria, [Note] and the almost deserted town of Apaturos, [Note] and, at the extremity of the mouth, Cimmerium, [Note] which was formerly called Cerberion. (7.) We then come to Lake Mæotis, which has been already mentioned [Note] in the description of Europe.
