Latine · Mayhoff 1906

Altissimum mare XV stadiorum Fabianu s tradit. alii in Ponto ex adverse Coraxorum gentis — vocant Bathea Ponti — trecentis fere a continente stadiis inmensam altitudinem maris tradunt, vadis numquam repertis.

English · Bostock & Riley 1855–57

Fabianus informs us that the greatest depth of the sea is 15 stadia. We learn from others, that in the Euxine, opposite to the nation of the Coraxi, at what is called the Depths of the Euxine, about 300 stadia from the main land, the sea is immensely deep, no bottom having been found.
