Γελωνός, πόλις Σαρματίας τῆς ἐν Εὐρώπῃ, ἀπὸ Γελωνοῦ τοῦ Ἡρακλέους, τοῦ Ἀγαθύρσου ἀδελφοῦ. ὁ οἰκήτωρ ὁμοφώνως. ὀξύνεται δέ. ἔστι δὲ ἡ πόλις ξυλίνη, κειμένη ἐν Βουδίνοις, ἔθνει μεγάλῳ, ὡς Ἡρόδοτος. παρὰ τούτοις ζῷον θαυμάσιον ὃ ὀνομάζεται τάρανδος, καὶ μεταβάλλει τὰς χρόας τῶν τριχῶν καθ´ ὃν ἂν τόπον ᾖ. ἔστι δὲ δυσθήρατον διὰ τὴν μεταβολήν· οἵοις γὰρ ἂν ᾖ τόποις, τοιοῦτος γίνεται τὴν τρίχα. καὶ θαῦμα· ὁ γὰρ χαμαιλέων καὶ ὁ πολύπους τὴν χρόαν μεταβάλλει. τὸ μέγεθος βοός, τοῦ προσώπου τὸν τύπον [ἐοικὸς] ἐλάφῳ, ὡς Ἀριστοτέλης πέμπτῳ θαυμασίων ἀκουσμάτων.
