Page "Indo-Scythians" Paragraph 29

:" Beyond this region ( Gedrosia ), the continent making a wide curve from the east across the depths of the bays, there follows the coast district of Scythia, which lies above toward the north ; the whole marshy ; from which flows down the river Sinthus, the greatest of all the rivers that flow into the Erythraean Sea, bringing down an enormous volume of water (...) This river has seven mouths, very shallow and marshy, so that they are not navigable, except the one in the middle ; at which by the shore, is the market-town, Barbaricum.

Before it there lies a small island, and inland behind it is the metropolis of Scythia, Minnagara.
