[25] ὁρᾶτε, ὦ Ἑρμῆ καὶ Φιλοσοφία, δύο μὲν ὄρη μέγιστα καὶ κάλλιστα ὀρῶν ἁπάντων Αἷμός ἐστιν τὸ μεῖζον, ἡ καταντικρὺ δὲ Ῥοδόπη πεδίον δ᾽ ὑποπεπταμένον πάμφορον, ἀπὸ τῶν προπόδων ἑκατέρων εὐθὺς ἀρξάμενον, καί τινας [p. 82] λόφους τρεῖς πάνυ καλοὺς ἀνεστηκότας, οὐκ ἀμόρφους τὴν τραχύτητα, οἷον ἀκροπόλεις πολλὰς τῆς ὑποκειμένης πόλεως. καὶ ἡ πόλις γάρ ἤδη φαίνεται.

Ἑρμῆς
νὴ Δί᾽, ὦ Ἡράκλεις, μεγίστη καὶ καλλίστη ἁπασῶν πόρρωθεν γοῦν ἀπολάμπει τὸ κάλλος. καί τις καὶ ποταμὸς μέγιστος παραμείβεται, πάνυ ἐν χρῷ ψαύων αὐτῆς.

Ἡρακλῆς
Ἕβρος μὲν οὗτος, ἡ δὲ πόλις ἔργον Φιλίππου ἐκείνου. καὶ ἡμεῖς ἤδη πρόσγειοι καὶ ὑπονέφελοι ὥστε ἐπιβαίνωμεν ἀγαθῇ τύχῃ.
